"I have never seen such an expanded seal before, sensei. I'm sorry, but there is nothing I can do."
Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed exasperatedly and rubbed his hair. Already mentally drained from all this. His desire was to already have a break after giving his hat to Minato, but it seems that fate had other plans for him. His successor died in battle with Kyuubi, and the last of the Uzumaki family ended up the same. Additionally, his student says he doesn't even know what the seal located on Naruto's belly is.
He summoned him because when he inspected the seal himself he could understand nothing of it, as if it had some sort of charm in it that made it unreadable for them. Hiruzen had seen Minato use [Shiki Fuujin] which is the summoning of the god of death, Shinigami, but the seal itself...something just doesn't seem right here. Hiruzen was already a seal master himself, so he felt a little surprised to know that his knowledge would be of no use.
"Have you tried touching it?" The third Hokage nodded sagely, knowing the effect of the touch, "And what?" Hiruzen paused for a moment and looked at his student.
"You can try yourself." Jiraiya placed his hand over the seal and tried to pomp chakra, "Argh!" Instantly, the seal glowed with black lightning and electrocuted Jiraiya, sending him flying into the wall.
"Why didn't you warn me!?"
"You didn't ask anything." Hiruzen chuckled at the pretentious face his student was now making.
"Damn you, sensei!"
"Oh, don't complain so much Jiraiya, I had the same situation. Won't you share your pain with your old sensei?"
"No thank you!"
Making a joke out of his students has always given Hiruzen some kind of enjoyment, he's old, so he still deserves some kind of entertainment. After a moment, a serious face dawned on his face once more, and his tone became strict.
"In any case, it looks like the seal has some sort of defensive protection. Suppressing chakra seals doesn't work to appease the defensive system either, so until we can't even touch the seal itself-"
"Our Fūinjutsu knowledge is of no use." Jirayia finished, wearing a thoughtful look, "Just what did you do, Minato?"
"He probably would have used it if someone had bothered to mess with the seal."
"Or someone else already messed with the seal... I've never seen such a seal, and Minato didn't mention it either." Jiraiya concluded.
Hiruzen scratched his gray from age beard, "You were out of the village, he wouldn't have had time to tell you about it."
Sannin doubted, "He would send a letter, always bragging about his accomplishments."
The third Hokage sighed again, "Either way there is nothing we can do about the seal, and I cannot think of dragging Orochimaru here."
"So what will happen to him?" Jiraiya asked, looking at his student's newborn that was sleeping calmly.
"At first Danzō wanted to take him to ROOT, but I immediately refused to do such a thing, yet for him to meddle in the matter." Hiruzen said sarcastically. If Danzō took little Naruto with him, oh he doesn't even want to imagine what would happen to him.
"What about the clans! Part of them must have proposed to take Naruto! You don't mean to tell me that-"
"The council prohibited taking the jinchūriki under care, I wanted to propose taking Naruto under the guidance of the Sarutobi Clan myself." The Uchiha Clan was most insistent on taking Naruto through Mikoto Uchiha's intervention in convincing Clan Head Fugaku, she was a close friend of newborn Naruto's mother, Uzumaki Kushina. However, despite their efforts, the request was ultimately denied.
Sannin gritted his teeth, "God damn you, sensei! How much power has the council already taken from you over Konoha, huh?!"
"Jiraiya-"
"You knew damn well that I can't take a newborn with me because of my spy networks that I have to run! It's too dangerous for Naruto to be with me!"
"Jiraiya-"
"I'm his damn godfather, and I bet you'll be like a grandfather to him while I'm away! Maybe you're still gonna tell me that he'll suffer the same fate as Minato did when he was a kid! No, maybe it will be even worse!" Jiraiya complained while glancing at the clear blue eyes of his godson, he had the same eyes as minato if not even brighter!
"JIRAIYA ENOUGH!" Hiruzen struck the wall, making a hole, despite his age showing that his strength had not yet left him. This action shut down the agitated Jiraiya.
Shaking the remnants of debris from his hand, Hiruzen only hoped he wasn't becoming like Tsunade with her temper. He sighed for probably the third time this evening.
"I also wanted to have a rest already. I longed to hand over all this damn work to my successor. But what? Kyuubi appears, and Minato is no longer with us. It's not an easy situation for me either. If you can't take him, then whether you want it or not, Naruto will end up in an orphanage. That's end of discussion. Understand?" Hiruzen was terrified of the sheer exhaustion he would have, as the rebuilding of Konoha rests on his shoulders yet to do.
Jiraiya only had visible rage in his eyes and walked out of the Hokage's office, slamming the door after him.
*Crash* "E-Eh?! Jiraiya-sama?!" Apparently the secretary behind the door was also horrified to see a pissed off Jiraiya. Evidently he's making a scene there as well.
Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed for he doesn't even know which time today. He looked at his desk seeing another stack of paper work.
"Ahh, it's going to be a long night." He took a cigar out of the drawer. At least the villagers shouldn't know that Naruto is a jinchūriki, it hasn't been revealed, so it should be okay.
Yeah...
Torches on the walls illuminated the huge cage and the place itself.
"ROOOOAAAARRR!" A great roar thundered through the whole place, the red eyes melting into her with disdain. A normal person would not be able to get up because of the amount of murder intent released. Meanwhile, a certain amber-eyed beauty was having a great time...
"Haha, missed it!" Kurama, seeing how the human girl dodged easily against his tails attacks from above, felt that he was about to snap! "Nope~!" , "Missed it~!" , "Ha ha haa! You'll never hit it when you're such a hothead! Pfft!" She mocked him! The great Kyuubi no Kitsune! This was unacceptable, must make the stupid brat regret it.
Losing faith in his heavy-tail attacks, Kurama switched to his hands, "HRAAAA!"
"Geez, why are you so aggressive!" Rimuru complained agitatedly, avoiding another sharp claw attack. It had been about 5 minutes since she got here, constantly having to be on the move to calm down the noisy animal, "Guess I'll have to call the animal trainer!" Kurama growled, allowing his fangs to show, "Okay okay, admit maybe I overdid with this one."
Since the beginning of the clash, Kurama has not spoken to her once, assuming that a mere ningen is not worthy of hearing his voice.
Having successfully escaped another attack, Rimuru slowly grew bored and gave a frustrated call, "Hey mister Fox ! Let's talk about thi-!"
*Crash* One of the red tails made its way and slammed her with a powerful impact sending at the wall. Huge amount of smoke was released from the impact itself, remnants of debris fell off the wall, but the blue-haired beauty emerged as if nothing had happened without even the slightest scratch.
Rimuru stood up slowly, holding her head with one hand, not out of pain but irritation, "Dammit, I'm telling you that hitting me with the same attacks over and over again won't do anything! You're just wasting energy- oi, don't give me this annoyed look!" A grimace appeared on the fox's scary face.
The image of the gramps with bright smile saying - "Kurama is a friendly fox, you just have to get to know him better", flashed through her mind - 'friendly' my ass! Damn them all. She has been slammed into walls more than ten times now, she bets! What a lovely foxie he is! And he tells her not to hurt him by mistake, ha!
"Goho, goho. Uhuh..." Fanning the smoke aside, she noticed another big hand of sharp claws aiming for her. 'He won't even let me breathe!' Gathering herself together, she started running in the opposite direction along the wall, *Shhhaaaaaaaaaaang-* She heard behind her the sound of sharp claws rubbing against the walls to catch up with her, 'It looks like he was going to do a swing.' The gigantic demon began to attack both of them with its hands again and tried to launch an attack on Rimuru, but the Monster Queen agilely dodged the attacks, showing off her combat skills.
'What am I to him!? A fly, eh? I'll show him who's boss then, pardon me gramps, but my promise not to hurt him will change slightly. Animals need to be disciplined and shown a sense of respect!'
"OKAY I SEE, you asked for it yourself!"
The blue haired ningen did something Kyuubi didn't see coming, she jumped straight towards him bouncing off the wall and closed her fist while flying towards him with an impressive speed that his eyes had a hard time following, only for her fist to move forward.
"Heh," Seeing the seemingly 13 year old girl who was about to deliver a blow to his stomach, Kyuubi simply laughed mocklingy at her stupidity, expecting a weak blow that he wouldn't even feel. He wondered if she sure didn't want to accidentally kill herself right now. What he didn't notice was the small smirk forming on her face.
"Guaaaghr!"
That's... Maybe it wasn't what he expected from a supposedly harmless blow, as he could feel his insides burning up from the very core. That wasn't how it was supposed to be, it took a moment to process what had just happened. Holy moly, how much power can a single brat have for him to feel pain!
*Thuuud* "Ughr." Kyuubi thumped his back against the water surface of the cage, creating a huge water wave. Quickly trying to rise, he spotted the blue-haired girl about to deliver another blow to him in the form of a leg strike from above. "Grrr." His eyes glittered with rage, nine tails formed a shield-like defense, blocking the strike. Still, even while blocking the hit, Kurama could feel the force behind the attack itself, a moment later the shockwave caused by the collision made its presence known.
Being the strongest of the tailed beast siblings and a warrior, Kurama was also not lacking in cunning as the fox he was, now that he knows the strength of his opponent he will go all out.
Meanwhile, Rimuru found herself marveling at the strength the animal possessed, losing herself in the moment as the Demon Fox stood up whilst she was still in the air after delivering the blow, the Monster Queen didn't notice when the tails of red wrapped around her tiny body in an effort to immobilize her. The tails held strong, but Rimuru meantime got an idea of what the fox most likely thought, that her these previous attacks had embodied all her strength, huh? No way!
She grinned mischievously, "Meet the true power of super extra cool Rimuru! [Turbo Rimuru Power]!"
"!?" Seeing the fox's face lose all its color, she felt even more satisfaction.
To her, this fight was like a game from the start, using a made up funny skill of hers, Rimuru grabbed the tails holding her at once, "And now!" Rimuru pulled all the tails down with her until she reached the surface of the cage, the floor particles flew up and the surface itself popped cracks.
In the meantime, Kurama again together with her hit the surfaces with his back, god damn it, how much strength does this girl have! Wasn't that an exaggeration!? After all he had stopped underestimating her, but even refused to imagine that she had more strength than he did. After all, to overcome the strength of his all tails clutching her, one must not be human.
Kurama felt his whole body being lifted and widened his blood red eyes at the sight, 'NANI THE F*CK? IS SHE!' This girl lifted him up straight into the air just by his tails! She lifted his entire body weight like it was nothing. Kurama pleaded in the back of his mind, seeing her growing smug look.
There had been a moment of silence since the blue-haired woman had lifted him vertically, until he finally heard the words of the end, "Be ready! [Crazy Carousel of Rimuru]!"
"?!" The nausea came quickly as she began to spin him until the sheer action of them began to resemble a tornado, "So are you having a good time now, he?" After a moment of spinning with dizzying speed, Rimuru took a swing and began slamming the fox to the floor like a rag doll to the right and left, "Argh." , "Urgh." Kurama actually felt unwell, he was the one who was supposed to eliminate this little human, and it looks the other way to him.
"Stop it...ningen..." The fox's cheeks bulged out, showing his uneasiness.
Rimuru was starting to feel bad about it, fun being fun, but now she just felt like bullying the animal. Taking another strong swing, gripping its tails tightly, the honey-eyed beauty threw Kyuubi up into the air that it impacted the ceiling making *Thund* sound to end carousel.
At this point, Kurama had enough, gathering Yang and Ying chakra into his mouth, an armada of bijūdama balls reduced as smaller bullets than original shot out of his mouth. The atmosphere and air became heavier and harder to breathe because of the powerful attacks.
Smoke was produced from the ceiling, and after a moment, Rimuru narrowed her eyes, noticing strange purple-like lights coming out of the smoke, "U la la." The hot like molten spheres flew out of them, which seemed as if they had the power to destroy at least the whole country.
During this moment, Rimuru activated the [Hasten Thought] skill, which allows her to boost her perception level by about a thousand times. It could also be said that her thinking accelerated by a thousand times, making her time to make the right decision at that moment extend by a thousand times.
Manipulating the strange water floating on the surface, Rimuru collected enough and gathered it into a solid point, "[Water Shield]!" She built a shield highly compressed from water, which she pushed towards the incoming chakra projectiles, *Sszhhh* Just as she predicted, the dangerous chakra projectiles vaporized the water attack without even slowing down or decreasing in size.
Now she just had a dilemma, she could take the hit because she would recover in a blink of an eye anyway. On the other hand, however, she didn't want any sort of a battlefield to be left of this place. It could potentially jeopardize her chance to get out of here. If she used [Hell Flare] or something with similar destructive power, our blue-haired beauty fears the place wouldn't be able to withstand the explosion.
"Hmm~hmm~hmm..." She was sealed in Naruto, right? It wouldn't be appropriate if there were some explosions going on inside the newborn's seal. She promised to protect him in the contract... Geez! This is all the fault of those two morons! This whole situation wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for the sealing thing. She could have taken care of matters outside, but now she has to do such things. She'll pay Shinigami-san a visit later for that, he's the one who used the death seal, is he that stupid? Who use a death seal that can seal gods on a child? Rimuru was really surprised that Naruto didn't die instantly in the process. The rest will come to mind after she neutralizes the bad mister fox.
"Let's try this out then. [Black Abyss]!" Large-scale black whirls formed around them. The whirls positioned themselves to counter the smaller bijūdamas that flew with high speed towards Rimuru. To Rimuru's amusement and Kurama's dafuqing state, the bijūdamas entered the black whirls, who then closed and disappeared, causing Kyuubi's jaw to hit the ground.
There was no spectacular explosion or incredible collision, it just occurred quietly and only Rimuru's laughter could be heard throughout the huge cage. [Black Abyss] is a skill that connects the real world to an abyssal dimension from which nothing can escape. It works great if you want to trap someone there or move an opponent's attack into nothingness. It was originated by Rimuru during various battles with enemies who had incredibly powerful attacks that caused devastation. She created this skill to make it easier to withstand such assaults.
Kyuubi slowly fell to the surface and dropped to his paws, tails swirling behind him slower than usual. His face stunned, he looked thoughtful for a moment unlike his usual self. The previous attack only confirmed him in his belief that he was not fighting a human. He couldn't sense chakra in this black technique at all.
"You...what are you?" Asking directly, Kurama focused his giant eyes on the girl in front of him, trying to create pressure while unbeknownst to him threads unseen at first glance began to wrap around his nine tails and body.
Well, at least she finally got him to talk.
"From what I have heard it is impolite to demand someone's name without giving your own." Rimuru replied with her hands behind her back with threads secretly coming out of them while she smiled angelically at Mr. Fox, trying to buy some more time.
The nine tailed fox growled, "Don't screw with me girl!" Though, she didn't expect him to try to attack her right away with his claws just for her being slightly canny.
"Oi oi, chotto matte here."
Immediately Kurama felt a strong and uncomfortable squeeze on his body, he looked back and his tails were tied with some kind of thread. Then he could clearly feel his legs weakening as he fell on his chest. Apparently his arms and legs were also restrained. He turned toward the culprit, rage and indignation boiling visible on his face.
The fox began to wriggle and some steel threads began to crack, compared to the chains of that Uzumaki woman, those threads were nothing to him.
Rimuru began to really feel exasperated as she extended her hand forward, "[Diamond Gain]" The steel threads changed to diamond threads and became more visible. Kurama noticed the difference in their durability right away, goodness now he might actually have a big problem breaking out of them.
"Wow, your face speaks for itself how much you hate me now, huh? But I don't sense this kind of purest malice in you that I saw in that black thing or shadow or whatever it was. Actually, I hope we get along!"
Kurama knew long ago that only his mouth wasn't thread-bound, so he began to gather chakra in it. While his thoughts were wandering on how to break out, the girl sat down on the ground in a cross-legged sit and started talking some nonsense shit about getting along.
He was just waiting for the right moment, until he had accumulated enough to attack. After a moment, he opened his mouth, and the true and inimitable [Bijūdama] emerged as an attack, a huge ball of chakra that had such a high level of destruction that it was comparable to a nuke.
"Okay...you're slowly getting on my list about people who should disappear, so I'm giving you one last warning." She slowly got up from the ground, brushing off her clothes and bending over. Fox ignored her warning completely and loaded the maximum amount of chakra into the attack.
[Bijūdama] shot out like a torpedo, molten until it looked like a huge ball of lava. The force within it concentrated so much that the surface and the water on it began to disintegrate or collapse.
Kurama had a painted vicious and satisfied grin that reached his ears, but a moment later it fell away as time wound slow down for him as he watched the girl just slowly raise her hand up straight.
After a moment, a sweet smile molded on her face that looked all too unfitting with the situation, as if wasn't afraid of attack even for a moment. Her hair also felt like it was rising gently from her power. He watched as her eyes opened and piercing amber eyes glowing with pure power made their presence felt. Feeling as if a superior existence that defied the universe itself was before you, that's how Kurama felt right now. He, Kyuubi no Kitsune felt so small now, as if all he could do was bow.
The soft lips parted away and her mouth opened, all Kurama could hear at that moment were the words that escaped her lips, "...[Void Slash]..." Mixed black as nothingness and bright as the purest of whiteness, a slash was created that cut his [Bijūdama] in half in an instant. The remnants of his attack simply faded into thin air. Dumbfounded expression made its way on his face.
Maybe listening to what she has to say isn't such a bad idea after all...
Obito Uchiha woke up in the cave. Damn, he lost consciousness! The fight with his former sensei was definitely not one of the easiest. The only thing he remembers is the terribly strong blow that knocked him unconscious. Agh, he remembers how it hurt, Obito is surprised that he feels none of pain now. He also had no Tobi on his body for some reason.
Looking around he spotted Zetsu and decided to make his thoughts aloud.
"Zetsu!"
Turning around, white side of Zetsu made a 'o' face and said "Oh, he woke up."
"Yes, he did." Black Zetsu added, his voice sharp as ever.
"What happened, did we manage to get Kyuubi?"
"No you fool. You've been outed by someone."
"Who?!"
"Unfortunately we don't know but..." White Zetsu said in a neutral voice while Black tched.
"But what? And where is Tobi?"
"Tobi went somewhere for some specific purpose... But you'd better see yourself! You look cool Obito!" The Uchiha produced a sound, "Eh?" while White Zetsu took out a mirror from somewhere.
When Obito saw himself in the mirror, the first thing he spotted made him speechless. The reason why his body was lighter and easier to control was because he no longer had Hashirama Cells in his left arm and abdominal area, just normal skin. But the biggest shock Obito felt was when he saw the absence of his deformity on the face by being smashed by a stone. Now he looked like a proper handsome Uchiha.
"T-This... H-How?" He asked in a shaky voice, touching himself on his now smooth face.
Zetsu answered, "That's how we found you."
Now Obito remembered finally, "Ahahaha! I was saved by a blue-haired angel! Yes yes, she didn't want me to die there because she wanted me to save this world! She was so beautiful! She came for me and healed me!" Obito declared and then started mumbling something to himself.
Meanwhile, Zetsus looked at each other, "Did he hit his head?"
Actually, rather was hitted.
"Uhh." Black Zetsu didn't really know what to say in this situation, but there was no point in wondering. However, he was pleased that Obito had gained another motivation to fulfill Madara's plan, and in addition, he was healed, which made him stronger, "He he he."
White Zetsu ignored the strange sinister laughter of his other half and called out to Obito, "Obito, we still found a new mask for you. It was near where you laid unconscious."
Obito took this present from an angel, new white mask and only widened his grin.
"This is my destiny! Ahahahah-!"
The only thing that worries Black Zetsu is the supposed angel that healed Obito, but he can deal with that later.
It had been two days outside and in Naruto's mindscape, making it possible for Rimuru and Kurama to get to know each other better. From what Kurama explained, a mindscape is present in every jinchūriki, normal people have it but can't enter it, sometimes there are rare cases but it doesn't matter too much.
Rimuru also gave Kurama an explanation of what and who exactly she was and how she ended up here. Kurama finding out about the reincarnation thing didn't make him look that bad towards Naruto. However, he remembers what Kurama said when he smelled her, because by doing so he could confirm her words and learn more thoroughly what she was.
"An abomination." Kyuubi growled.
His words echoed in her mind more powerfully than anyone would have expected. Sure, she had already been called many names. The enemies she met, however, usually called her a hybrid, a monster, a beast hidden behind an angelic appearance, but an abomination was something new to her. Something she hadn't ever heard.
From what she heard from him, her scent was so different he couldn't even tell what species she was, well Rimuru even wanted to find out herself because she didn't even know anymore. Hahaha... It hurt a little.
Additionally, her memories are even more blurry than they were a hundred years ago. Her recollection of skills is also fading, so she took the initiative and started creating new skills.
Kurama obviously noticed her expression and so he said, "We are both monsters, the species doesn't matter."
Rimuru smiled a heartfelt smile, "Heh, you on the other hand are not made of hate alone. So why don't you tell me why you're so hateful? I think you're actually a good guy."
He then told her, like a story taken out of a book, how humans had treated the tailed beasts since memorable times and imprisoned them inside themselves, calling them vesels. During all this, the tailed beasts had no say in this matter.
"I see... Is that why you hate people so much? Is that why you are so angry?"
Kurama snarled, "No, it's all because of that damn fool Uchiha! He had me under control, I hate being under control! Damn masked man." And on top of that, he was sealed by the fourth Hokage. What a bad fate is.
'Well, now his rage is understandable. Wait, the masked guy?'
"Did the masked guy have a white mask with weird streaks or something?"
"Yes, I hate him!"
"Ehehehe..." Rimuru nervously began scratching the back of her head and avoiding Kurama's eyes, "I may have accidentally healed him and..." She announced quickly, playing with her fingers.
Kyuubi however, "YOU WHAT!?"
"No no no please, let me explain! NOOOO!"
...
Uhh, yep it brings back memories of that meeting. Kurama is finally not that angry with me anymore. Phew! The Monster Queen also shared with him about the deal she made with his father but yet she ended up here because of their stupid idea.
"So you're telling me that you ended up here with me, because of Shinigami's original seal? Yaahahaha-!" Kurama laughed mockingly while pointing finger at her, holding back tears and almost rolling on the floor.
Rimuru pouted, "Don't laugh at me! You're stuck here yourself!"
"Ahaha.. Yeah, but I'm used to being in a cage."
'This is not good at all!' Rimuru thought, seeing the lack of sadness in the words when he said them.
"But you know..." However, sadness appeared on her face instead of his, which Kurama noticed and frowned.
"What?"
"I'm worried about this seal." Kurama only raised his hand and waved her off.
"You've already tried messing with it and you know that nothing will move it from our side. Your magic thing isn't working properly on this because the seal was created with chakra, not your magic. Additionally, as you said, the Shinigami himself enhanced the seal."
"Damn it...!"
Kurama was peacefully sleeping in the cage while a girly sweet voice woke him up, he opened one eye seeing the blue-haired girl.
Rimuru's eyes shone with a new sparkle, "Hey, I got an idea!"
"Hmm, what this time?"
"Remember how you mentioned the only way to get out of here?"
Kurama recalled.
...
"The safest way to get out is by unlocking the seal. For that, however, we need a kit, and he is still far too young to enter his mindscape." He told her.
...
"Yeah, there was something like that."
"I know how to escape the seal with different way!" Kurama waited for her to continue, and she rose from her sitting position and raised her hand, "[Dimensional Transition]!" Her excited eyes went immediately to him.
"You can't." Kurama shook his head negatively.
"Ha? Why, after all, the portal works, we can go anytime!"
It was a long time since last Kurama's sigh, "If you leave a kit like this, he will just die. Your disappearance will be processed as an extracted jinchūriki. And you promised old man you'd take care of kit, right?"
"Eh, um, I suppose your right...hmmm~" Kurama saw the girl made a thoughtful pose, thinking hard about something, too hard. In the back of his mind, the word cute came up. Wait what? Cute? He, the legendary Kyuubi no Kitsune thought so? Not a chance.
"But you're here, so it shouldn't be considered an extraction!" She stated victoriously with growing smirk.
"That's not how it works. When a person loses one arm, he will no longer be able to use it. The same is true here, except that your disappearance will end up killing him."
"But when a person loses an arm, he gets a prosthetic one!"
Kurama deadpanned, "No, just no."
"Damn it...!"
"I'm sorry, but because of me I think you're going to be here forever." Rimuru cried out and you could imagine the cat's ears droop sadly.
Kurama opened one bloody eye again hearing this information.
The giant fox sighed, "What this time?"
"Naruto is immortal relative to age because of me. When he reaches his mid-twenties he will stop aging, which means he won't die of age, meaning you won't get out through his natural death."
"From where did you get this idea?"
"Judging from the fact that you told me how jinchūriki get their characteristic traits from the creatures in the seals. Naruto already got your whiskers." Kyuubi admitted, "However, it's a little different in our case. The seal is enhanced by Shinigami-san himself, and so the traits and attributes that Naruto will take after us will also be greatly enhanced too."
Kyuubi's mouth formed a small frown, "So what? I'm immortal too and he doesn't get this trait."
"Because you are made of chakra as life energy itself, therefore it cannot take over the qualities of your being in itself from you. However, I have immortality as a trait in my genes because I am not created from magic or some energy, but have a normal living body." Rimuru continued, "His body will most likely be stronger as well, I even doubt if Naruto himself can be fully considered human now. I checked the state of his body and saw that his muscles had already started to form. And he is still a newborn baby! He'll probably notice something like that himself when he grows up a bit more."
As much as he didn't want to, Kurama had to agree with that point. Although, it looks like the blue-haired girl can also think, and really inquisitive when she can. Hmpf.
"Ehhh, it doesn't matter that much to me." Because I have you here with me too, so it won't be boring.
Of course those words would never escape his mouth, perhaps he has become too attached already, but the very aura of Rimuru attracts him too much. She is too good-natured sometimes.
"Thanks for thinking that way."
"No problem." Kurama smiled, showing his fangs.
A week passed, and Naruto was taken to an orphanage.
The village of Konohagure was struck by terrible news that stirred up hatred throughout the village. Kyuubi. Was. Alive.
However, Hiruzen Sarutobi did not foresee that the information that little Naruto was supposedly Kyuubi's reincarnation would come to light. Finding the culprit was the least he could do here, Hiruzen just hoped that little Naruto would be alright.
