The camera opens up to reveal Fakhouri looking over a file folder while rubbing her chin*
Fakhouri: "Hmmm..."
the camera man was about to cough when Fakhouri spoke*
Fakhouri: "Not this time friend."
She turns and looks at the camera*
Fakhouri: "So I finally decided to check the stats for this story and...well it was startling to say the least. Let's see..."
Reviews: 164
Communities: 4
Favorites: 237
Follows: 356
Fakhouri: "As I have previously said when I started this story I wasn't expecting much especially this much interest in this story. So I thank you all for your continued support! To those of your who are new to this story, I quote what I say in a game...WELCOME TO THE HALL OF INSANITY!"
Fakhouri: "Next up as always the review responses!"
To AXZ-Universe: *Watches as he is captured* "You know I am still trying to figure out the people on the roof. I have a basic idea but nothing more. But I can confirm this...It isn't who you are expecting."
To Polaruspax (Chapter 2): "First if a 'retarded amount' is 2 then I must be. Second While I know Naruto is important, I'm giving some emphasis to what happened in his early life after getting kicked out if you noticed the current time attack (not counting any flashbacks) stopped after the second one. Finally I don't consider human beings, fictional or not, assets. You also must realize that the time between the Fourths death and the Thirds reinstatement the Civilian council took advantage of this and create laws that granted them more power then they truly deserved. That is why I put council bashing in the summary. But I commend you being the first flamer in a while to put your name on a review."
Fakhouri: "And now the disclaimer!"
She pushes the button and a cloud of smoke appears. As the cloud dissipates, a small trail of smoke rises. It would be Asuma*
Fakhouri: "Please welcome Asuma Sarutobi!"
Asuma: "Hey."
Fakhouri: "Can you was they disclaimer please?"
*Asuma takes a breath in letting the smoke fill his lungs before he lets out the breath*
Asuma: "Fakhouri doesn't own Naruto or any other characters from other animes. All she own is the OC characters she makes."
Fakhouri: "And now onto the next insert of Unspoken Friends."
*Mindscape Realm*
Naruto had a shcked look on his face while his fellow Jinchuuriki were confused while Kumi crossed her arms, "Hello everyone..."
The One tails bellows out, seeming to not have heard Kumi, "Who called this meeting?! I thought we agreed never to meet like this again!"
Kumi's eye twitchs as the Seven tails speaks, "I do not know brother but I do know it was neither my host or I."
Naruto glanced at Kumi muttering, "I don't think they heard you...might need to go buji on them for this."
Kumi sighs before she begins to channel her mind. Her clothes slowly melted into her body before her skin grew bright blazing orange fur. Her face started to change to that of a fox as her tails grew and her body became a fox. By time Naruto could eat his weight in Ramen, She was just how he remembered in the stories. Her eyes opened revealing piercing blood red eyes. She was slightly bigger than the other 7 biju, who were the size of the Hokage Towers.
She spoke as Naruto walked to stand just in front of her front paws, "Silence."
The other biju froze for a second, which didn't go unnoticed by their hosts before Eight tails glances at the Fox, "Kurama? You summoned us?"
She nodded before Two tails chuckled, "So the one who said that we shouldn't meet again called the meeting. Intriging."
The Seven Tail's looked around, "This is odd..."
Six "What is?"
"Where is Isobu?"
Kumi/Kurama raised an eyebrow before hearing the missing voice as he appears, "Sorry I was late...I was asleep after chasing away some fishers..."
Kumi nodded, "That is alright. We were just starting...But first let us move to a different location while our hosts meet each other."
She glances at Naruto as he shrugs before standing and walking to a nearby forest area. The others slowly followed leaving their respective jinchuuriki to themselves.
Naruto crossed his arms as he glanced at them.
Starting at his Left was Gaara, who had his usual emotionless face on and looked exactly as he did just a few hours prior.
Next was a woman with blond hair tied into a low ponytail, her hands covered in finger less gloves and bandages wrapped from the wrist to the elbow. She was wearing a black and purple blouse and black each having a singular cloud shape on he had to guess she was the at least a head taller then him. On her forehead she wore a Kumo head band.
Continuing going left was a tall man with red hair, beard and mustache, his hair being tied up in the back. He wore a tri pronged crown like helmet adorned with a small ring on the left side his Iwa headband and a metal face cover going across his nose. He would a red shirt and pants with black sandals going up to his mid calfs.
Next was the tallest person there. He was dress from head to toe in red armor on under his had you could see hazel eyes and the Iwa Headband just under his shallow circular hat.
Next was a black haired man dressed in a blue kimono with an orange sash as a belt. In his kimono was a bamboo container while in his hand was a thin stick of bamboo. On his forehead though was the Kiri headband.
Continue on was a tanned girl that he would guess was his age, She had mint green hair and orange eyes. She was dressed in a shirt that stopped about her midriff with mesh armoring underneath and a white apron skirt with fishnet shorts underneath. On her right arm was the Kuso headband.
Finally, was a dark skinned man with a blond hair and goatee. He had the Iron Kanji tattoo on his shoulder and the bull horn on his left cheek. He wore a one shouldered flak jacket, black pants, white and red shin guards and Arm guards. His eyes were hidden behind oval sunglasses and on his forehead was the Kumo headband with a white cloth. He was also scribbling in a notepad strangely enough.
Naruto sighed before plopping down, "Well while our Bijuu discuss whatever why don't we get to know one another?"
The Kumo snorted while the armored man shook his head, speaking, "We may be jinchuuriki but we are not friends. I personally wouldn't associate with a Konoha ninja who got hand fed everything..."
Naruto's expression visibly darkened as the area behind him slowly vanished revealing one of his more vivid memories. Kumi, despite being far away twitched at the memory began in her mind also...
*Memory*
Naruto was sitting beaten bruised and bleeding in an alley, whimpering in pain. He had just gotten kicked out of the orphanage and was trying to find some food when he was attacked. He didn't understand why but he knew on thing...
He wanted the pain to end. His stab wounds weren't deep enough to fatal injure him. His eyes glanced at the discarded kunai to his right. Slowly he reached over, wincing at the pain and stiffness in his arm, and grabbed the kunai. He pulls it to him and looked at it. He then brought it to his wrist, closing his eyes before making the cut. As he dropped the knife and the blood started pouring out, he idly wondered if anyone would miss him.
He then chuckled hollowly as his mind answered the question. No they wouldn't...
*Memory ended*
The area returns to the normal grass plains and a pungent silence covered the area. The green haired girl looked down while clenching her fist before the Red head speaks, "When was this?"
Naruto crossed his legs before answering, "When I was four."
From the Kumo woman to the Kumo man their eyes widened slightly. Of course they had at once attempted this themselves but were stopped by friend usually...and they were usually soon after their first kill...
"Do not think I showed you this to garner sympathy. I showed you it to show that I am not a ninja who thinks this is a game and was hand fed my entire life."
Gaara looked emotionless at him. But in his eyes were a hint of familiarity before taking a seat, "What is it you suppose we do then?"
Naruto smirked, which unknowingly to him brightened up the area, "Just getting to know each other. Names rank and one thing you like."
Gaara nodded. Without his 'mother' controlling his thoughts, he spoke clearly, "I am Gaara of the Sand. Genin and I like to look out at the stars."
The Kumo woman sighed before crossing her arms, "Yugito Nii, Chunin and my thing I like is sushi.."
The red head smirks, "I'm Roshi, Jounin and mine is curry."
The armored one stayed motionless as he spoke, "Han. Jounin. Tea." This cause many raised eyebrows but they moved on.
Kiri ninja brought the bamboo up the his lips and blew out bubbles?, "Utakata, Chunin and Relaxing."
Kuso girl smiled and held up two finger, "I'm Fu, Genin of Kuso and my personal favorite thing to do is to explore the forest."
Kumo man started...rapping?!, "YO I'm Killer B. Jounin of Kumo and" He was interrupted as a frying pan smacked him dead center.
Naruto raised an eyebrow before looking at Yugito for an explanation. SHe sighed, "If I didn't do that He would continue rapping..."
Naruto nods and Killer B frowns, "That hurt Yugito!"
"THen stop rapping."
Killer B glared but remained silent as everyone eyes turned to Naruto.
He smiled his signature fox like grin, "My name's Naruto Uzumaki. I'm a genin of the Leaf and my favorite thing to do is prank the idiot civilians."
Yugito and Fu smirked/smiled while Han and Roshi stiffened slightly. Utakata spoke up, "Now that that is out of the way, I must ask...Who was that woman you walked in with?"
He noticed her enter the midscape with him but he looked at his beast. Next thing he knew The Nine tails was behind Naruto.
"Oh that's Kumi but you would know her as the Kyuubi."
Silence
"What?"
*With the Bijuu*
Kumi sighed as everyone settled in their spots, "Sorry for inconveniencing you all."
Matatabi smirked, "It was of no trouble. Though I am curious as to why you of all of us would call a meeting."
Isobu nodded, "I would like to know also."
Kumi let out a long breath, "How much do you trust your hosts?"
Gyuki shrugged, "I can honestly say I would trust him to back me up if I were human."
Shukaku shook his head, "About as far as I can throw him."
The others, besides Isobu, responded somewhere in between.
Kumi nodded, "How you you feel about being able to roam around...like we used to?"
Matatabi raised a figurative eyebrow, "And how do you propose we do that? It's not like we can simply ask our hosts to release us. After all it would kill them."
"Not releasing just allowing us some freedom."
Chomei chucklesd sarcastically, "Right..."
"Just think about it...But talk to your hosts about meeting up in the real world. Then make your decision."
Her fellow Biju nodded before returning to the meeting area before. She sighed before disappearing along with the others...except one
"The coast is clear..."
A hooded figure stood up on Isobu's shell, "Thank you old friend.."
*Naruto's apartment*
Naruto sighed as he opened his eyes before glancing at Kumi who was also opening her eyes, "So how did it go?"
"Better than I expected."
Naruto nodded as a knock was heard from the door. Kushina instinctively entered a henge as Naruto went to answer it.
"Kakashi Sensei?"
Naruto raised an eyebrow as, when he opened the door, Kakashi stood lazily while reading his usual smut, "Yo."
"What brings you here?"
Kakashi reached into his pocket before pulling out a slip of paper, "Couldn't find you earlier so I decided to check here to get this to you."
Naruto took the paper cautiously, "What is it?"
"A chunin exam application form. If you want to participate be at the Academy at eight tomorrow morning." Naruto nodded before Kakashi shunshined out of there. Naruto closed the door and turned to the inside of his house, where Kumi smirked with her arms crossed.
"Well things are about to get very interesting."
Fakhouri: "And yet another chapter comes to a close. Again thank your for your continued support of this story! But before I give my usual spiel, the poll so far!
