There was several things that Kurama hates passionately. For instance, it was common knowledge that he absolutely couldn't stand Uchiha Madara... Or any Uchiha. Honestly, it's not like he asked for much... All he wanted was, everything he hates, to never happen or come near him. He had to tolerate the Uchiha already for the sake of being on good terms with his Kit, but everything else had no excuse.
He had done a pretty great job, in his opinion, on giving a fully detailed dumb-down explaination of Chakra, Jutsu, and even the history of Chakra; he also added a bonus of what a Bijuu and Jinchuuriki was in order to save any pain that his Kit may suffer over it. The Kit deserved some form of happiness. Anyways, everyone had done decent job staying quite the whole time he was talking, mostly because they were still trying to process how exactly he was real. But when Kurama asked the group to repeat back what a Jinchuuriki was... They all stared blankly back at him.
Kurama hates stupidity! Of course, he allowed it with Naruto because the kid has a right to some of it due to his childhood... And it was adorable when the kid has a dumb moment. But the dumba$$ pieces of ningen flesh in front of him just irritated the f*ck out of him!
What in the seven hells are you looking at?! Do any of you filthy ningen possess a fu-
Naruto sighed, clamping his hand down on the mini-kyuubi's muzzle. This was about the time he regrets allowing the vulger Fox out of the seal. Honestly, he was going to be forced to teach the Bijuu some well needed manners because apparently no one has tried to teach the nine tails. "It's a lot of information to take in, I'm sure. Give them a few minutes to gather their thoughts, Kyu." He slowly lets go of the small orange foxs face who had the equivalent of a scowl marking his features. Kurama had taken to wrapping himself around the blondes neck and shoulders like some kind of scarf, burying his head just below the teens chin and resting on the small ledge Naruto's collarbone allowed.
"So you're a Jinchuuriki, a human that houses nine chakra-originated beings that are basically large combinations of animals..." Laxus muttered under his breath. He was still trying to process the loads of new info into his head and square it back around to how it linked to his nephew. Naruto has chakra; Naruto possesses scary amount of chakra; Naruto was the reincarnation of some ancient god-like being; Naruto had all nine powerful bijuu sealed inside him...how? He understood a little of sealing due to Minato's letters, but who in the hell would seal a bijuu into anyone and be in their right mind?
The look on Laxus face must have portrayed his thoughts, because Kurama snorted flocking his ears backwards. "The dumba$$ that was your brother... he is the one that sealed me inside the Kit when he was a few minutes old."
That snapped a lot of the group out of their daze. Laxus frowned, not because the small creature just told everyone he has a brother, but trying to process what the Fox meant that it was Minato's fault. His brother knew the art of drawing those seal symbols, but he would have never sealed anything into his own baby, right? Granted, Minato was gone for a few years, but he couldn't have changed that drastically to do something so stupid.
"Since when did Laxus have a brother? He doesn't have any siblings!" Natsu yelled as Happy nodded along with his paws crossed.
A scowl formed quickly on Laxus face accompanied with a icy glare, "Minato wouldn't have done something so cruel." He knew the look would probably barely faze the giant-turned-tiny fox, but it was worth a shot. Kurama snorted as he laid his ears back, his retort right on the edge of his tongue. He knew that the man was in denial, mostly because he hadn't seen the blonde Flash in years, and wanted to preserve whatever memory he had of the older man; but that was no excuse to indirectly call him a liar.
Naruto sighed, feeling tension build up between the two. The last thing he needed or wanted was to have a fight break out in between two of the people he wanted to protect.
"That's how my father died, by sealing Kurama into me. He gave his soul to the shinigami... Had he not, Kurama would have destroyed Kohona due to being controlled by another person." Naruto calmly called out as he rested his hands within his pants pockets. He knew this was probably a touche subject for his Uncle and maybe even his grandfather, but he wanted to make sure there was no misunderstandings of what had happened; even if that meant reliving memories that were better off buried behind a seal. His father may not have been the brightest when it came to sealing Kyuubi, but that didn't mean that Naruto was going to disrespect his memory entirely. The fourth Hokage was a respectable leader and was a prodigy, not the ideal father, but he was in a pressured situation that valued time over strategy; people were dropping like flies and the village was being destroyed.
"Shinigami? You mean like the death god? With a scythe?" Gray questioned as he made a swiping motion with his arm. "Are you sure people wasn't exaggerating on this a bit? They do tend to do that when it comes to chaotic situations."
Happy shuddered at the thought of a corpse wielding a giant scythe as he tucked his tail behind him. Ezra was scary enough, he didn't need anything else added to his horror list. The blue feline flew down to rest on Lucy's shoulder, glancing over at the red-headed woman nervously as if she could hear his thoughts.
"He's real." The chorus was oddly in sync by Naruto and Madara and it sent chills down the mages spines. Laxus frowned, his mind taking him back to the Cathedral church where his nephew had admitted to several near death experiences being a shinobi.
Gajeel rolled his eyes, "You would know, wouldn't you? Old geezer." Ok, he was still a little mad at being beaten like a child earlier, but still he was curious as to Madara knew the shinigami was real. Gajeel was certain that if someone saw the death god, they wouldn't leave the scene alive.
"I spent the better part of the century out running the god of death. We wasn't on the the best of terms due to me being resurrected and causing a lot of ... problems for shinobi nations." Madara worded his sentences carefully. He really didn't want to continue to be seen as some villian, especially in front of his grandson. His actions may have not been completely his own, but it didn't change the fact that he tried to take over the world and killed a lot of innocent people along the way. He wanted a different reputation that followed his name, which its hard to erase over a century of history that followed him like a plague. Maybe he should get a new name so he could have a refreshing start? He frowned, not quit willing to part with the memories that his name brought up... like Izuna.
"J-just how old are you?!" Natsu jabbed a finger towards the Uchiha with wide eyes.
"Too many years for you to count." The small remark wasn't that funny but it still made Gray smile that implied Natsu wasn't the brightest.
"Since the Shinigami was upset that you were... brought back to the living, how are you still here then? Wouldn't he be after you right now?" Laxus asked as he turned his attention back towards the current conversation. The small comment had Happy and Natsu glancing towards the sky as if the god would show up at the drop of a dime.
Madara crossed his arms, his red eyes narrowing slightly in thought as he turned to the young shinobi that possessed the tailed beasts, "He saved me."
Naruto tried his best to not shift under the attention. Why couldn't Madara be silent and mysterious like he usually was in these types of situations? "All I did was speak to him and explained everything about the war and Kaguya. He understood and was willing to let it slide just this once." He grumbled as he sat down in the dirt.
Of course, it did help that he has a major soft spot for you and considers you one of the only mortals worth immortality.
Naruto glared down at the bright colored fox with a frown. "I don't think that's a soft spot, Kurama. Immortality seems more like a punishment of eternity, who would want something as horrible as that?" The fox snorted at the naive reply. Leave it to the Kit to say something so... beyond his years.
"I could see you being immortal..." Madara mumbled, unknowingly catching Kakashi's attention. "Yeah, it would seem that way with how many times you failed to kill him." Madara's eyebrow twitched in annoyance as Kakashi did his signature eye-smile that made anything he said irritating. Gajeel shifted a few feet away from his grandfather, feeling the aura surrounding the man darken considerably.
"Big words for a man that taught his mentally unstable student a A-class jutsu that was so kindly shoved into Naruto-sans chest." Madaras tongue moved before his mind could comprehend his words, but he didn't regret them. Laxus swallowed thickly as he glanced between his nephew and the silver-haired man. He didn't know much about shinobis and their jutsu, but judging from how mages ranked their magic, A-ranking spells are no laughing matter. And what person teaches someone who is mentally not all there, a dangerous jutsu? Laxus glanced around at the few present shinobis questioning just what else have they done, especially in desperate times.
Kakashi didn't stop his creepy eye-smile, "Coming from the man who's ego was so strong that he believed he could achieve peace through illusions."
"Maybe you have forgotten, boy, that i was being puppeteered. It may not make up for the past few years actions, but what is your excuse? You abandoned two of your students to put a mentally unstable Uchiha child on a pedestal that only served to make him more powered obsessive, lets not add to the fact that he got the ignorant idea to shove a chidori through Naruto's chest just to get a upgrade on his eyes."
"He was mentally unstable because you ordered his clans massacre-"
Ladies, ladies... Kurama waved his tails in amusement, his fangs protruding as he smiled. You're both beautiful. He cooed as if he was talking to small infants but it seemed that they managed to ignore the jab as they glared at each other.
Naruto rolled his eyes as he made the sand pull the two shinobi away from each other by shifting the ground. "If you don't have something nice to say, don't say it at all."
Happy would have laughed at the faces the two men pulled, had it not been for the sand that had moved on its own. He felt his heart speed up as he tightened his grip on Lucy's hair.
That's one of the oldest lessons ever taught. Old man even taught me and Shukaku that when we were just kits.
"Well, if they are going to argue like children, that's how they will be treated. Besides, why even argue over things that happened a long time ago? The only thing they are both causing by this, is making each other angrier." Naruto turned his attention back to the duo that had at least had the decency to look slightly ashamed. Gajeel was ready to swallow his tongue as he watched the same man that had brutally beat him down mere hours ago, back down to a teen no older than Natsu; just how much lower did the blonde hold to make Madara back down? "What happened to the shinobi codes? Shinobi's don't show their emotions?" Naruto mused as he smiled remembering his father telling him about how Kakashi once was as a child.
"The shinobi codes were made for people like Danzo." Kakashi mumbled as he stuffed his hands within his pockets. The blonde merely out his hands within his pockets and shrugged. The shinobi codes wasn't the best thing in the world, and it did seem like the old warhawk had created the ridiculous rules.
"D-did anyone else not notice the ground moving?!"Happy cried out as he was finally noticed in his hysterics. Natsu raised an eyebrow at his exceed. "What are you talking about?"
Happy sweatdropped as he jabbed his paw towards the ground where Madara and Kakashi stood. Naruto smiled as he commanded the sand to stand up in a pillar beside himself, "I didn't mean to alarm you, Happy. It is one of my few kekkei genkai's that I possess due to holding all of the bijuus. Kurama went over it earlier."
Kurama's rabbit like ears pinned back as he thought back to the dumb looks the ningens had been giving. Honestly, why did he try anymore?
I realize this is short, but I have had a lot on my plate lately. Between medical class, forensics class, dance recital, funerals, and car issues i have had quite the past week. I have tried updating before this but my phone (what i usually write on) has a virus or something that is causing my work to get deleted and when i am typing, every word is changed to something completely different. Hang with me for the next three weeks until summer time, i swear i will get something figured out.
