Ok, I know it's been a hell of a long time, but I'm back with another chapter. I would have to schedule myself in order to post chapters. Anyways, let's get into it.

A week has passed since the incident with Ino and Kyuubi. Hiruzen sent word to Kumogakure so the Jinchuuriki can make preparations to leave. Naruto, on the other hand, was home with anxiousness revolving around him. He kept telling himself that this feeling was not his, but the Kyuubi's. Though, it did little to help him calm down. It was only the gentle touch of Ino that did some significance. Where will he be without Ino?

She's done so much for him, and even continues to do so. Even now, she has something to help him from going on a rampage; little to her knowledge anyways. The two continued to pack their belongings thinking of how long they would be away from their home. It could be weeks, maybe years. All they knew was that Naruto had to be in complete control of Kyuubi before they returned. Their journey started by a knock on the door.

"Naruto, are you ready to go?" Hiruzen asked when the door was opened.

"Yes, I am," Naruto replied with determination.

"Ino, I'm counting on you to keep Naruto in check when he's out there."

"No worries Lord Third," Ino stated. "I'll make sure he behaves."

"The Jinchuuriki of Kumogakure should be here any minute. We have to go to the gate to properly greet them."

The pair of blondes looked at each other and nodded. Ino was the first to leave after Hiruzen. As Naruto went to close the door, he looked back at his apartment. All the memories flowed back into him; the good and bad. Smiling, he closed the door and joined Ino and Hiruzen. The trio walked through the village and Naruto noticed a change in the atmosphere; no one was glaring at him or making remarks amongst themselves.

He looked at Hiruzen and wondered if it was because he was here. In a way it did make sense to him, so he decided to not say anything. A few more minutes of walking eventually led them to the gate. They stood there for a few seconds until they saw a single figure making its way towards them. The form was that of a woman and she walked with confidence. It wasn't long before she was fully in view.

"I didn't need a welcoming party you know."

"I felt it was in my purpose to meet you since I am the Hokage," Hiruzen stated.

"I see. And I guess this boy is Naruto?"

"Y-yes I am," Naruto stuttered.

"I'm Yugito Nii, the Jinchuuriki of the Two-Tails. Once I heard what you were doing, I needed to help. I also heard that the Nine-Tails resides in you. I want to formally greet him."

"But how can you-"

When Naruto came to, he was in his mindscape. The cage before him was glowing a dim red. He knew it was the anger of Kyuubi causing this. Naruto turned around hearing footsteps. Yugito was seen walking towards him and she stopped by the cage. A lone gigantic eye opened and glared at the two of them, mostly Yugito. This was the first time Naruto saw Kyuubi this mad so he didn't know how to handle it.

"I heard you've been a bad boy Nine-Tails," Yugito said with no fear in her voice. "So I'm here to put you back in your place."

"Jinchuuriki of Two-Tails…how dare you think you can control me!"

"We don't want to control you…Kurama."

A next voice was heard and it sounded feminine. Naruto looked to see a cat-like beast with skin that looked like blue moving flames. One eye was yellow while the other was green. This Tailed Beast was much more polite than Kyuubi.

"Matatabi, you should know better than anyone you can't help this kit."

"We'll see when Yugito starts his training."

"Well said girl. Naruto, this is my Tailed Beast; Matatabi."

"Pleased to meet you Naruto."

"Tch." Kyuubi turned away from the group.

"You can act like that all you want. Just know that I will help Naruto gain control of you."

"…"

"Naruto, let's get out of here. I'm sure everyone is wondering what's happening. And let's just keep this ability between us Jinchuuriki."

Back to the outside, Ino was staring at Naruto and Hiruzen was doing the same to Yugito. Naruto knew what was going to be the first thing to come out of Ino's mouth. He told her to don't worry about it and Yugito simply nodded. Hiruzen suggested that they started going to make some ground before nightfall. Yugito agreed and motioned for Naruto to follow. As Naruto started to walk, he felt a dark aura. It seemed like the Hokage left out an important piece of information.

Naruto briefly explained that Ino was coming too, and whispered to her the reason why. Well, the main reason. Yugito couldn't believe what she heard, but nevertheless she motioned for the two blondes to come. Hiruzen waved as they left behind everything they knew and journeyed to a new place. He knew Yugito will ensure their safety, but the thought of Kyuubi actually completely taking over Naruto was still in the back of his mind.

The trio walked through the forest, making their way back to Kumogakure. Naruto and Yugito kept a conversation that one a Jinchuuriki could understand. Yugito explained how she also had the Two-Tails sealed into her at a very young age. Afterwards, she had to endure harsh training in order to control the power. She made it clear that she didn't want anyone else to go through it, which strengthened her resolve to help.

Naruto seemed amazed at her for her determination to help him master the power of the Tailed Beast. Yugito mentioned that Matatabi told her that Kyuubi believed that the number of their tails indicated how more powerful one was over the other. Hearing a new name, Naruto questioned her about it only to find out that was the name given to the Two-Tails by the Sage of the Six Paths. Of course Naruto didn't hear anything since he was still trying to process everything.

"So Yugito, I have another question," Naruto stated.

"Go on and ask."

"Would you consider all the Tailed Beasts to be siblings?"

"In a sense, yes," Yugito answered.

"Then the Jinchuuriki are also related by the Tailed Beasts?"

"I would say yes."

"Then could I call you Onee-chan?"

Yugito seems taken aback for a moment. She certainly didn't expect that. "Well…um…if you want…I wouldn't be opposed to the idea."

Naruto jumped and cheered at that. Meanwhile in the back, Ino was questioning whether letting Yugito into their circle. She was now thinking Naruto was just fine with her and her alone. Now that another female is in the mix, Naruto immediately clung onto her and completely forgot about her. She wanted to believe that somewhere deep in his heart, she was still there but looking at the scene in front of her says otherwise.

Alright, I'll end it there for now. Hope you enjoyed this little treat. See you again.
