The Geist Within

Chapter 24: The Tailed Beast Tactics

Sometime later…

"I can't believe what I am seeing." Kurotsuchi said agape.

In Training Ground 11, a picnic was being held for the tailed beasts and their containers. Utakaka had wound up joining alongside Yagura on this party that Naruto was happily hosting. The villagers were rather unnerved that four Tailed Beasts were out and in the same spot. Hell, it would have been the Akatsuki's wet dream, but it was too bad that he sent Pain on a wild goose chase west. Naruto hoped they ended up in circles, but Naruto had no idea he led them somewhere…amusing.

In the West, said Akatsuki was enjoying rides on an amusement park. It was obvious this was a goose chase, but it had led them to a vacation spot. Why not lounge a while, he thought? The tailed beasts were not going anywhere.

"So, Saiken, Isobu, Son Goku, it's been a pleasure to meet all of you. Let's take the time to enjoy our lives through this feast." Naruto said raising a glass. "To life and combat."

The tailed beasts had taken on humanoid forms looking more like faunus, and only their massive chakra making it obvious. Son Goku was a pretty much Sun Wukong's redheaded clone, Isobu looked like a Ninja Turtle, and Saiken appeared mostly human sans the slug tail that trailed slime.

"Here here!" Kurama said as they clinked glasses before taking a drink.

"You two seem rather chummy." Saiken said surprised as this. "What brought the change?"

"Plenty of things, but let's just say we can make each other much stronger." Kurama said cryptically. "And it seems we have another one coming to the party."

Naruto had a grin as he got up alongside Kurama who disappeared with a poof.

"Well, it's time I did my job of greeting the newcomers. I will return in a while, so enjoy the food." Naruto said walking away.

"Hey, you bastard. You can't just be buddy-buddy with our container! You're tools of…." Kurotsuchi said before Naruto flicked her hard enough for her to imbed in a nearby wall.

Roshi shook his head as Son Goku facepalmed from the stupidity. Kurotsuchi was a hard-headed girl, but she was going to gain plenty concussions to scramble her brain if she kept trying to anger said "tool of war".

Zabuza and Haku had stuffing their faces not bothering to acknowledge that bout of stupidity. Naruto was ecstatic to meet another one like him. Up the road, a petite, androgynous, tan-skinned kunoichi who wore an orange clip in her short, layered mint green hair with orange eyes. She wore a short sleeveless white midriff shirt with fishnet armor underneath, long white armlets, and fishnet shorts with a short white apron skirt over it. Her forehead protector was worn on her right arm. She This was the jinchūriki of the Seven-Tails, Fū.

"I can't wait to explore Konoha, see the peoples, and meet new people." Fū said excitedly.

"No, Fū. We're only here for the exams." Yōrō said sternly. "It's for your safety we escort you to a safe hotel room."

"My safety-ssu? For Fūck's sake, I have a tailed beast in me. That pretty much is life insurance!" Fū pointed. "Considering the Uchiha, Hyuga, and all that kekkai genkai shit. I can't do anything Fūn! You barely let me fight, I can't even live in the damn village! I'm a kunochi and that makes me legal to smoke, drink, and Fūck! Yet, I can't do shit! You two aren't even teammates I got to bond with, you're just my jonin babysitters."

"Shibuki is only doing what is best for you. He is picking out a potential partner for you to…." Kegon said cutting himself off realizing he said too much.

Fū had only a glare for them both and words for Shibuki. The man was a competent leader, but Fū even saw he was a chickenshit.

One of the Naruto's clones had inadvertently heard the entire conversation and a plan formed in the clone's head to give Taki a middle finger, and it divebombs to ensure that it went poof. At the gate, Naruto was about to greet the newcomers when I rush of memories flow on from a clone. He strode up to the three.

"Ahem, welcome to Konoha, fellow applicants." Naruto said calmly. "And you, miss, it's a pleasure to meet you. How about a tour of a place?"

Fū's cheeks went red as Naruto took her hand gazing her eyes and she was beaming at the idea of a tour. On a level, Naruto sympathized with Fū. He understands Shibuki's intent, but his actions were only causing Fū more harm than good. Kegon swatted Naruto's hand away.

"Back off, you little shit." Yōrō said coldly. "We didn't come for a tour of your backwater village."

Some of the villagers broke out the popcorn expecting some antics.

"But…" Fū protested.

"No buts. We're leaving." Kegon said before Naruto stopped Yōrō.

"Excuse me, but I can't just let that slide. So, I'll have to do this." Naruto said with a cheeky grin.

"Do wha-" Yōrō said before Naruto smacked both Yōrō and Kegon's heads together to knock them out.

"You got knocked the Fūck out, man!" Naruto said snickering. "Payback's a motherFūcker, ain't it, ninja? Maybe you'll remember who I am when you wake up."

Fū was agape and started laughing at Naruto's exaggerated tone and swagger while doing it.

"My kami, I've been wanting to ditch them since the last town! Name's Fū." Fū said kindly.

"Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze. A pleasure to meet, lucky number seven." Naruto said surprising Fū.

"This boy! He's like us, and I sense Kurama in him!" Chomei said excitedly.

"Chomei, it's been too long." Kurama said. "Sister, it's been forever."

"Wait, you're a jinchūriki? And they let you live in the village!" Fū exclaimed.

"I basically own a good chunk of it." Naruto said confidently. "So how about that tour?"

"What about dumb and dumber?" Fū asked pointing to them.

Naruto called a STORM nin to move them to a hotel and make sure they do not escape. The ANBU could have stepped in, but Naruto telepathically told them he was investigating something fishy about the two ninja.

"I will ensure they are not killed." Naruto said telepathically to them as he left with Fū.

The first place Naruto took her to his district and Fū was owed by the size.

"It's rather big, your clan must be huge." Fū said excitedly only to see Naruto's wistFūl face.

"I wish, but that's not the case. My mother was an Uzumaki apart of a feared clan. Sadly, most were wiped out leaving me as the prince of only one other Uzumaki who lives here with me." Naruto said forlornly.

"What about your father?" Fū asked only for Naruto to point to the Fourth Hokage's bust on Hokage Rock. "No Fūckin' way-ssu!"

"Yes way, got my good looks from him. Shame he's gone, and I never got to meet him or my mom." Naruto said.

"Can you do the Hirashin?! Please show me!" Fū asked with stars in her eyes.

"All right but let me ask you. Ever been shopping?" Naruto asked.

"No…most of my things were provided. I think the one who designed my outfit is a total pervert. How does this provide protection?" Fū said gesturing.

"Personally, I think it shows off your lean physique, toned stomach, and makes for a nice contrast to your color. But is it laced with seals?" Naruto asked.

"Oh…thank you…for the compliment, and I don't think. My diet is pretty strict thanks to my Kage." Fū said.

"Which is unneed before Tailed Beast Chakra pretty much burns out toxins and fat at command." Naruto said. "How strict are we talking?"

The moment Fū spilled the bean, Naruto was horrified hard enough that even a canon Naruto would agree with the reaction of this "geist".

"Fū, forget the shopping. I'm taking you to the Sapphires." Naruto said using the Hirashin to zip them over to the Misty Sapphire.

The Sapphire family was entrusted with a Hirashin kunai for when Naruto (or his wives or clones) came needed grocery shopping or when a clone would drop off STORM nin for a bit of moonlighting as security. Once Naruto arrived, he dashed to the counter.

"Marie, we have an emergency. This lady has never had anything sweet in their life! No candy, no pastries, no sugary cereal!" Naruto wailed.

"Naruto, quit acting so dramatic. Maybe, she's allergic." Marie said rolling her eyes.

"No, if that was the case, I would have been told. My people are very controlling of me. This is the first time I've been away from my handlers thanks to Naruto." Fū said sheepishly.

"Oh, I see…well what would like to try first?" Marie asked kindly.

Fū's taste buds had exploded that day and gained a love of gumballs. The pair were walking down the street with Fū having a bag of assorted snacks to carry.

"Thanks for showing me how to use my tailed beast chakra to willingly clean out my body." Fū remarked.

"No problem. Kurama insisted. We're pretty tight. Enough, I can ride him into battle like a boss." Naruto said.

"You can summon out your tailed beast and the village will let you?" Fū asked. "I can't even ask without Shibuki telling me no that Chomei's a danger to the village. He won't even acknowledge the Seven-Tails as Chomei."

"How would you like to defy that?" Naruto said with a mischievous grin. "In fact, you can briefly meet your fellow jinchūriki and their tailed. The reason you can't sense them from fair is due to my sealwork preventing others outside the village from sensing it."

Naruto took her hand leading to her to the park where Haku and Ukataka were sparing.

"Oi, I brought number seven." Naruto excitedly. "Sorry, I took long. I'm giving this lovely lady a tour. We only came to stop by. That's Ukata of the Six Tails, Roshi of the Four Tails, and Yagura of the Three Tails."

"A bit of a sausage fest." Fū remarked.

"Pretty much, aside from you, there's only one other female host. She's in Kumo, and I don't even know she'll even show up for the Chunin Exams considering she's already a jonin I believe. Unless by some chance, she's leading a team or something." Naruto said unironically unaware that may soon happen.

"Well that sucks but show me how to bring out the beast." Fū said excitedly.

Naruto showed her the motions and Fū copied to let out Chomei. Unlike the other tailed beasts, Chomei's human form took on a feminine form. She used Fū's body as a base for the form having a similar hair and eye color. Only different was the hair had darker tints on the ends and her skin was a slight darker shade*. She wore an ornate cheongsam cut for her wings to wrapping around her body like a cloak. Her seventh tail swayed free and she had a small beetle-horned nose.

"I feel quite lucky today to be out to strut my stuff." Chomei said cheerFūlly. "Hey Fū, you can go finish your tour with Naruto, I want to catch up with my family."

Naruto summoned Kurama before he took off with Fū to leave the tailed beast to roost. Naruto had taken Fū shopping having learned from Ino a bit more on fashion. He was so glad for capsules to make it easier to carry her things. Fū had on a fresh egg white kimono emblazoned with a Chomei themed design.

"Sorry to interrupt our shopping trip, but it seems I'll have to pass by my office building. Apparently, one of my subordinates has words for me." Naruto said checking his phone.

Naruto and Fū had arrived at UzuCorp Headquarters where they were taken up to Hiro's office. Fū noticed the bowl of sweets and already had her hands in it. Hiro rolled his eyes and looked to his boss.

"Naruto-sama, we did the basic record pulling and discovered that Yōrō and Kegon were faking their genin status and that they were jonin." Hiro remarked. "We are waiting on if you want to inform the Kage about this?"

"Would Fū be able to still compete?" Naruto asked Hiro.

"I'm not sure." Hiro said shaking his head. "She would be sent back!"

"Ugh, I don't even want to go back home! Yōrō would probably toss my treats. What the hell are even my options?" Fū remarked.

Hiro asked his boss to step out of the room for a moment. Naruto found it odd, but a call from Velvet got him to walk down to his office. Little did Naruto know, Hiro had a plan of his own. One that secure himself to get a hefty raise from his boss.

"Miss Fū, would you be interested in hearing some viable options?" Hiro asked curiously. "Take it from one who was in a bad position before being freed."

Fū raised an eyebrow and curiously asked what her options were.

"Well, you could become a nukenin, but serves with the most risk as you could get a bounty. You could defect to Neo Nami, but that risks Taki declaring war on them. While Neo Nami is a blooming nation, it's a still new fish in a shark-filled ocean. There is a third option…is Naruto." Hiro explained.

"Naruto?" Fū asked conFūsed.

"Let me show you something." Hiro said showing Fū a photo of Naruto and Karin in businesswear cutting the ribbon to UzuCorp. "That redhead is a fellow Uzumaki. However, she was a prisoner of Kusa slightly worse off than you until Naruto."

"Yeah, I remember that he got the name of the "Kusa Killer", but you expect me to do that to my village?" Fū asked.

"No, not really. From our interrogation of those two jonins, Taki has a tight grip on you and they are letting fear cloud their judgement. I'm appalled that your leader intends to pick out a partner for you." Hiro said playing the sympathy card.

"Did Naruto have to go through that?" Fū asked.

Hiro's response was to show her another of Naruto and his wives at a dinner party with the employees of UzuCorp.

"Those girls with the rings on them are his wives, and no he did not pick them out. He won them in a poker game." Hiro said as Fū's jaw hit the desk dropping a few pieces of candy. "I am dead serious."

Hiro gave an abridged tale of Naruto's luck during that poker game in how he started with nothing and walked out with practically everything. Fū was awestruck hearing this.

"And he put that money to gone use in starting this company that spread over to Neo Nami and got us out of the shadows." Hiro said completing his tale. "And don't worry about the women Naruto won in that bet. One of them already had a crush on him from the get-go and the rest grew to like their situation."

"Still, that's quite a story." Fū said.

"My point is to cherish your budding friendship with Naruto. He's the type who raise the Nine-Tails to defend those he calls friend. He clearly is fond of you already." Hiro remarked. "Plus, he clearly finds you a pretty sight from his performance in greeting you."

Fū blushed at that and sheepishly pointed out that he is married.

"That won't be a problem. I do know for a fact that if you ask him to take you in, he will. Besides, a bit of a secret, but he does have an open relationship." Hiro said with a wink. "Think about it? What better way to get back at the fact your own village is trying to get you in an arranged marriage. What happened to your choice? You're a person, not a tool."

Fū shot up with her eyes Fūll of determination and said, "You're damn right. Thanks, Hiro! I know what I must do."

She left the office only to come back to take half of the candy in the bowl. Hiro looked down at the bowl noting she took all the red Jolly Ranchers that were his favorite.

"That may annoy me now, but if things go according to plan, I can buy me a king-sized one." Hiro said leaning back in his chair. "Boss is going to thank me."

Over in Naruto's office, Naruto was wrapping up his conversation with Velvet.

"Well, I'm happy that you and Pird are getting along. With the portal guns, visiting each other isn't too much of an issue. But if you do want to stay with him, I do plan to shift UzuCorp to other worlds eventually. Hmm…don't want to leave your home here. All right, if Pird wants, I can hire him down here if he wishes. I'll the offer open. I'll be seeing you back at work tomorrow? Good. You and Pird have Fūn!" Naruto said hanging up as Fū walked into his office. "Fū? Something wrong?"

"No. Here's the thing, Naruto. I don't want to go back to Taki, but I may have too. It isn't right that those jonin pricks will slip into the exams. But there's one thing I want before you do this." Fū said boldly. "I want you to have sex with me."

Naruto had another moment of being completely caught off-guard. He had no idea that Hiro had subtly dumped nitroglycerin in the train that was Naruto's plan.

"I…uh…I'm sorry, I'm not making a decision, but this a bit of a surprise. We only know each other for a short time." Naruto said mildly shocked.

It always took a while for someone to just ask for that, and Naruto was stupefied by Fū's request.

"I know, but I trust you. You don't treat me like a tool, but at a person who has a tool. You came to aid to even get me a tour of a place and took me on a food tour. Hell, you took me shopping and I got to put clothes instead of someone providing them to be regardless of what I want. I know what I am is a bit extreme, but can you at least grant me that. Besides, I discovered that you have plenty of experience in the matter." Fū said kindly. "If you can make four girls happy, you can make this one the happiest."

"Well, who am I to deny your request?" Naruto said with a bit of a nervous chuckle. "But we shouldn't do this here."

With a Hirashin, Naruto and Fū had taken her to Karin's apartment before guiding her out of it to Tenten's old apartment.

"I used to live in this building before I moved to the mansion. This room give is unused, and it's secure for us to be alone and not interrupted." Naruto said nervously opening the door.

"Why are you so nervous about this?" Fū asked.

"To be honest, this is completely unexpected. I never had someone just up and ask me for this without be having a feeling it was going to happen." Naruto said as they entered.

The moment they were inside, Fū had a teasing look on her face.

"I had to admit that it felt nice to complimented. So, how about you take a good look at this?" Fū said sliding off the kimono to reveal she was clad only in a sarashi and Fūndoshi. Sure, Naruto had seen plenty bodies in underwear, but the traditional air of this one got Naruto's blood pumping. Plus, the man former known as Satoshi had a niche in tan girls close to the ganguro type. Any sense of restraint or nervousness went right out of him along with his pants.

"Well you've went from nervous to very assure of yourself." Fū said as she was tackled right into the bedroom.

"Yeah, well I still a bit guilty about this." Naruto said with a chuckle. "I just want to know."

Caught off-guard again, Naruto was flipped onto bed with her straddling him.

"Your employee, Hiro, gave me some good advice. Maybe you could help me with my problem." Fū remarked.

"You could have just asked." Naruto remarked. "There's no need to offer herself to me. You're a fellow keeper like me."

"I know, but I still want to do this." Fū said undoing her wrappings.

Later in the Afternoon

"You know that you two are in a lot of trouble for what you two have done? This action can be treated as an act of war!" Hiruzen said smashing his desk on his desk glaring at the two who sat in front of him.

Komachi and one of the STORM nin had come to deliver some information discovered and Hiruzen was livid with what he learned. Komachi was a fine ANBU, but even she flinched along with the other ANBU hidden in the room at Hiruzen's anger.

Yōrō and Kegon knew they were in deep trouble after ANBU dragged him into the Hokage's office.

"You have exactly twenty seconds to explain why I shouldn't send you back to Taki in body bags." Hiruzen said darkly.

"It'd be an act of war." Kegon said weakly.

"If I remember, Taki's pretty small. Smaller than Kusa. And considering Naruto roasted half of that nation on his own, how about…." Hiruzen said before being cut off by the Chomei flying in through an open window. "Oh…so the Seven-Tails is here? Pleasure to meet you."

Yōrō and Kegon were flabbergasted that the tailed beast was out of Fū and was apparently a woman.

"Charmed. Call me Chomei." Chomei said fluttering in the air.

"The tailed beast is out! We need to…" Kegon said getting up only for one of the ANBU to get the drop on him.

"Calm down. Is she doing anything? Good grief, she's just been summoned out. Plus, she's not a monster." Hiruzen said rolling his eyes.

"But what about the Nine-Tails?" Yōrō said.

"First off, he was mind-controlled by the Uchiha. Two, Naruto's now around. Three, we have safeguards. Four, sit down and shut up!" Hiruzen said as the ANBU planted Yōrō back in his seat.

"But where's Fū?" Kegon asked.

"Oh, about that…she's getting deflowered at the moment." Chomei said with a tinge of pink on her cheeks.

"Ha! That's my boy!" Kurama yelled confidently.

Hiruzen sighed rubbing his face, but then had an idea to use this to his advantage. He turned to the fake genins and laid down the ultimatum.

(A/N: I wanted to give a lemon for Fū, but I decided to hold off. One, this chapter is long enough for a "mini-chapter", and two, we have more to introduce. However, it seems Fū won't be competing in this Chunin Exams, and Taki in deep trouble. If you're wondering why Hiruzen is royally steamed, what Taki did was basically ensure an unfair advantage for them. Yes, we have Sharingans, Byakugans, and all that, but they are GENIN. In the case, Yōrō and Kegon wound up killing one and their secret was exposed right after. It'd be a nightmare for all parties involved and it'd ruin the Exams. As for the ultimatum, no it's not going to be a forced marriage. However, any fan who knows Taki and Konoha's history will know exactly what he'll ask for. As for Naruto, I liked of his plans being screwed with. He was hoping just to befriend and show her some freedoms she could have while here. He wasn't expecting all this! Yoshi3000 out.)
