~~ Okay, here we go with the next chapter. The next few chapters are going to be going through some training and will hopefully answer some questions. Sorry for the future delay in updating, my English Teacher is insane. (O.o)~~
The moonlight flooded into the open window of the Uzumaki Clan house, were the perfect couple lay. Naruto was awoken once more by a night terror, and sat awake in bed, still shaken. His eyes rested on the love of his life, her pale complexion enhanced by the mystical light. Naruto had put on a brave face, and had pretended that he was okay, but it was all a façade. Death was something Naruto was still adjusting to, and no matter how many people he knew that had died in battle; this was something that was different.
Very stealth like, Naruto crept out his bed, and grabbed the Chakra Chain scroll. Before the sun came up he would master this Jutsu, and the Kyubbi summoning Jutsu. Then, he would spend additional training time working with Jiraiya with this 'Legendary Form'. He knew better then to over-work himself, which was something he did as a young child.
Naruto transported to the training grounds, and practiced the Chakra Chain Jutsu. It was slightly easier then he had originally planned, and he mastered it within two hours. Now came the challenging part, the summoning. Naruto opened the scroll, and signed his name in his blood across the signature line. The hand signals were of course difficult, mostly because Naruto was accustomed to the signals for the Toads.
Naruto was gasping and sweating from chakra exhaustion, but he pressed forward. The sun was just beginning to rise over the horizon, and Naruto focused all the more. With one final effort, he slapped his hand on the hard ground and his voice boomed Summoning Jutsu!, and before him stood a icy blue fox, with dark blue tinting around his paws and five tails. Sitting, he was about six feet tall. On his back lay battle gear, and his magnificent cerulean eyes glued on to Naruto.
" Why did you summon me?" The fox asked quixotically.
"Well actually, I was just trying to master this Jutsu." Naruto chuckled, ruffling his hair.
"Ah. Well cool! No one has summoned the Fox in many years… are you an Uzumaki?" The Fox asked animatedly
"Yes, my name is Naruto Uzumaki."
"Well, my name is Shimo. I'm primarily used only for battle purposes. I am known for my speed."
"That's so cool, can you tell me about the other Foxes?"
"Sure, but first hop on. I am the primary fox you will use for battle, so you better get used to riding on me."
Naruto looked around at the awakening town of Konoha, and with a moment's hesitation, he jumped on the back. Grabbing the reins that rested around Shimo's neck, Shimo took off. Naruto held on for dear life, as Shimo sprinted. The world was in a blur, and suddenly Shimo jumped in the air. Naruto felt as if they were flying. Shimo finally stopped, and turned to face Naruto.
"I like you Naruto."
"So tell me about the other Foxes!" Naruto asked, finally back to who he was.
Shimo thought for a moment, and then went into the explanation.
"Well the smallest one is named Akumu. She is used specially for tracking and spying, and she has one tail. She's pure black with lime green eyes. The next one is Homura, and he is used for rescue. He is pale yellow, with black tinted tips around his tails and face and he has three tails. Next is Kyo and she is used for wisdom, like if you need help to access a battle. She is lavender, with royal purple splashes across her back, and she had five tails. I'm next. Then, of course is the Kyubbi, who is the boss of us all."
"Wow, I cannot believe my luck! You will get along with the Toads though right?"
"Kit, we won't attack them. We have a mutual understanding. Just don't summon both of us into battle. That won't go so smoothly. "
" Oh crap! I was supposed to meet with Jiraiya in just 10 minutes!" Naruto jumped, as he looked into sun.
"Grab on."
The duo took off, and Naruto for the first time in a few days, smiled and laughed. A gentle rumble left Shimo's throat, as he laughed along. Jiraiya stood waiting patiently for Naruto near the entrance to the Forest of Death. Jiraiya took out his latest book, and began to read, enjoying his work. Suddenly, a flash of light blue fur flashed before his eyes. Startled, he jumped back.
"Naruto, who is this?" Jiraiya asked, still shaken.
"Oh this is Shimo. He is a wonderful summon!" Naruto gushed, as he patted the fox on the chest.
Shimo rumbled in laughter, a slight smile exposing his sharp canines.
"Naruto, you mastered the summoning of the Kyubbi?" Jiraiya asked astounded.
" Of course. It was difficult, but it was so worth it." Naruto gushed, bliss reflecting off his eyes.
"Sorry kit, but I better return and share the good news with the other Foxes." With a head nod, Shimo disappeared in a puff of smoke.
"Well that was something you don't see everyday." Jiraiya laughed.
"So what did you need to talk to me about?" Naruto inquired, as they walked into the Forest Of Death.
"Well you see you unlocked a powerful form. You noticed the seal was broken, so logically speaking you should have been in the nine-tail fox form. You weren't however, which was interesting. You see, you desired to conquer evil so strongly, that all the evil in your heart evaporated, and you had a pure heart. So, when the seal was broken, the power of the Kyuubi surged, and you were able to manifest the power, while staying in your human form and not be tainted by the evil chakra that had taken your body over. Basically, you have the full power if the Kyuubi at your fingertips, and do not have to become corrupted to use it. I will train you now how to use that power at will, and then we will work on you becoming a sage."
Naruto gapped at the Pervy Sage, taking in all that he had just said.
"I think you can master the usage of your Katana on your own, so I won't even bother going over that."
"What do I need to do first?"
"Focus on something that makes you feel any strong emotion. Then channel your Chakra and mix with the Kyubbi's form. It is actually quite strenuous, so don't be surprised if you can't…" Jiraiya stopped mid-sentence, because a now Legendary Form Naruto stood in front of him.
"I feel weird in this form, it's like I lost half of who I am." Naruto mumbled.
"Well…. uh…" Jiraiya was at a loss for words.
"Can we work on me becoming a sage tomorrow? I'd really like some time to relax now if you don't mind." Naruto asked placidly.
"…. Sure" Jiryah stuttered.
"See ya!" an excited Naruto smiled and ran back to Konoha, to find his lovely Fiancé cooking breakfast.
Snuggling, he gently caressed her neck with his lips, as he came up from behind her. Hinata began to arch her body into his. A slight sigh escaped from her lips. Naruto turned her around, so he could kiss her luscious lips. His hand moved between her legs, but was interrupted with a knocking at the door.
With a great sigh, he left Hinata to open the door. Matsuri stood in front of him, wearing a huge grin.
"Hey, Naruto. There's going to be a party tonight at Ino's place to celebrate all the new love that seems to be blossoming around Konoha. First you and Hinata, now there's Garra and myself, Shikamaru and Temari, Ino and Choji, Neji and Ten Ten, Kakashi and Anko, and Kiba and Sakura. Would you and Hinata like to come?" She asked, excitement flowing with her words.
"Sure, we'd love to go." Naruto nodded as she hurried off.
" I believe you need to finish what you start." Hinata instructed, as he began to kiss his neck.
"Oh, just wait until after the party tonight," Naruto smirked.
Hinata and Naruto began to eat their delicious breakfast, and start the wedding plans.
~~Okay everyone, please review. I know it's up later then I said, and I'm sorry. By the way in case you were curious Shimo- Frost, Akumu- Nightmare, Homura- Flame, Kyo- Aurora. ~~
