Happy Holidays to all you ladies and gents of Fanfiction!

A few of you were asking if Yasaka in this story already had Kunou or not. The answer is no. The time point in DxD for this story is the early years of Kuroka as a criminal. Kunou isn't born yet because Yasaka hasn't mated with another kitsune yet.

Hurricane Chronicles

Chapter 2: Be Prepared


"Thank you for coming to see me peacefully, Kitsune-san," the Third Hokage greeted Yasaka as she and Kuroka were led to his off by Naruto and Jiraiya.

To avoid a village-wide panic at seeing another Kyuubi, Yasaka had cast an illusion over herself and Kuroka to appear Human; a simple removal of their Yōkai features was all that was needed.

"Of course, Lord Hokage," she replied in a respectful tone, having been told of the man's title by Jiraiya. "I understand the need for discretion, considering how my student and I are both Yōkai who randomly appeared in a Human settlement. I was the leader of my Faction back home in Kyoto."

"Was…?" Naruto repeated curiously, earning a smile from her.

"I doubt I'll be going back anytime soon; not that I'd want to if I could."

"Why not? Don't you have to lead your people?"

"Someone else will be chosen to take my place in my absence. Besides, I'm honestly…relieved to be away."

"May I ask why?" Hiruzen questioned politely.

"There's a paper-thin cease fire between many Factions due to one of them still recovering from a civil war, one of them trying to keep up a façade of the Creator being alive, and the third trying to feel out the other two. As for my Faction, there's been some building tension between the Yōkai races regarding the earlier three Factions I mentioned."

"The stress of leading, protecting, and dissuading your people was getting to be too much, I take it?" the Hokage asked knowingly.

"Your age shows your wisdom, Lord Hokage," she complimented with a smile. "At any rate, I don't wish to return and would humbly request an opportunity for my student and I to settle down in this territory of yours."

"This territory is commonly known as the Hidden Leaf Village; one of many Hidden Villages that house both shinobi and civilians."

"You guys are ninja, nya?" Kuroka asked with an interested smile on her face.

"Yes, you'll find many ninja and kunoichi throughout this world of ours," Jiraiya confirmed.

"That's pretty cool, Whisker-kun!"

Blushing at the nickname, the whiskered blonde replied, "I'm still training as a ninja. I'm part of the lowest tier right now."

"Currently, a handful of our Genin – the rank Naruto-kun currently holds – are training for the remainder of this month in preparation for the final portion of what's known as the Chunin Exams," the Hokage explained.

"Chunin being the next rank, I take it?" Yasaka queried.

"Yep!" Naruto answered. "The ranks we have are Genin, then Chunin, then Jonin."

Yasaka nodded in understanding before an idea struck her. "Lord Hokage, would you allow me to assist Naruto-kun in his training? As a kitsune, I have an understanding of chakra and have been working with Kuroka on improving her control over it. It was during an experimental usage of chakra that we were brought here to your village; or, perhaps the term world is more fitting in this case."

Hiruzen thought about her request, knowing that Naruto wasn't having much luck in finding anyone to help him get ready. Kakashi had taken Sasuke away from the village to train, the other Jonin sensei were focusing on their students, and many of the other Jonin were busy with missions or village security in the wake of Orochimaru's appearance.

If Yasaka and Kuroka hadn't shown up, the elderly Kage had no doubt that Jiraiya would've taken Naruto under his wing; seeing as Kuroko was also busy in the social services department.

"Jiraiya," he began, earning his old student's attention, "would you mind Yasaka-san taking over?"

The man looked honestly conflicted. He had hoped to use this opportunity to finally establish a connection with his godson; the same godson he had never visited and only helped by sending funds to Kuroko as she looked after him. But still, he couldn't deny that learning from a Kyuubi – one who had no interest in destroying the village – would be a huge boon to Naruto; perhaps even in regard to dealing with his Kyuubi.

So, he nodded in acquiescence. "I don't see any problem with it. I'll just check in now and then."

"Wait," Naruto cut in. "Why would you check in on my training when you never even offered to train me in the first place?"

"Don't act so innocent here, kid. I know that Kuroko told you I'd most likely be at the hot springs and would probably train you."

The blonde Uzumaki huffed, attempting to hide his embarrassment at getting caught. "Smug pervert…"

Laughing boisterously at the grumbling Uzumaki, the Toad Sage turned to Yasaka with a grin. "He's all yours, Yasaka. Make sure he gives everyone a show to remember. I'll be betting on him, after all!"

Naruto looked surprised at that, not being used to having someone believe in him so strongly. He almost jumped when a soft hand placed itself on his shoulder, and he looked up to see that it belonged to Yasaka who had a smirk on her beautiful face.

"But of course. Any student of mine is sure to be nothing but the best," she assured everyone, even Naruto who was now becoming eager to start.

"Alright, nya!" cheered Kuroka, sounding as eager as Naruto was feeling. "With sensei teaching us, Whisker-kun and I will be the best there ever was!"

Unable to stop his grin, Naruto replied, "Damn right, Kuroka."

"Before any of that," Hiruzen cut in, "I think your teacher may need to know about your circumstances, Naruto-kun."

Immediately getting what he was talking about, the eagerness to begin washed away from Naruto with a sigh. "Yeah… I think so too…"


"Okay, what I want to see before I decide on how best to train you is what you know right now, Naruto-kun," Yasaka stated, standing across from her two students in a private training ground provided to them by the Hokage.

The privacy allowed for both women to let their natural Yōkai features be seen, neither liking the feeling of illusionary magic covering their bodies.

"Right," Naruto began, taking the time to show Yasaka everything he knew.

Shadow Clones

Transformation as well as his Sexy Jutsu (which earned him a laugh from Kuroka while Yasaka merely chuckled)

Replacement

And finally, the Spiraling Wind Ball

"Four techniques," mused the Kitsune woman. "I'm of the notion of quality over quantity, but I also know that more techniques will be necessary to fight. Luckily these Shadow Clones of yours can transfer what they learn to you. So, I want you to create four groups of five Clones."

Nodding, Naruto created the requested Clones and separated them into the four groups. "Now what, sensei?"

Mentally smiling at the title, Yasaka answered, "One group will keep working on mastering the Spiraling Wind Ball technique. I can tell you were just starting to learn that one."

"Let's go, guys!" one of the Clones announced, leading his brothers to another part of the training ground so that they weren't in anyone's way.

"The second group will take this time to go over any and all possible opponents you'll be facing and ways to counter what they might do in their fights."

"That's us, then," the representative of Group 2 stated, leading his team to a nearby tree so that they can sit and discuss.

"Third will go with Kuroka. She's a natural born fighter, so she will have each Clone spar with her and point out any flaws in your fighting style."

"Admittedly, I don't have a fighting style," Naruto confessed.

"That's fine. She can help you with basic stances and forms that you can use. Anyone can focus on one style; but the basics are the foundation to any and all styles. And you'd be surprised how many styles share similar basics."

"C'mon now, boys~!" Kuroka called out with a slight purr. "Let's see if you can pound this pussy, nya!"

All the Clones of Group 3 sported neon red faces as they shuffled after the shameless Nekoshō.

"The last group will meditate," Yasaka stated. "Having a calm mind and being able to maintain control over yourself will go a long way in controlling your chakra. This will also be that first steps of other training I want to go over with you throughout this month."

"Let's go into the shade over here," the leader of Group 4 suggested, taking his fellow Clones to a shaded spot to begin their training.

"And lastly, you yourself, Naruto-kun, will attempt to make contact with the Kyuubi within you. I'll be assisting you because I wish to see the difference between a chakra based Kyuubi and myself."

"Okay… I'm not sure what to expect from the fox, but I know that it's super destructive since it nearly destroyed the village years ago…"

She smiled at him reassuringly. "No need to be nervous. If something goes wrong, I'll be right here to help you."

Feeling a bit better after that, Naruto took a few deep breaths before mentally calling out to his seal. 'Hey, fox… You there? I was hoping we could talk…'

He heard nothing respond back to him, so he tried again.

'Listen, I know you probably want nothing to do with me, considering how you're stuck in me… But I just want to talk. I'm not asking for any of your chakra or anything like that…'

More silence.

'…I honestly would rather have you out of me, too. But I know that releasing you would kill me; not to mention leave you open for others to try and capture you again. So, maybe we can come to some sort of understanding. That won't happen though if you don't talk to me…'

When there was no reply again, he was about to give up before he felt a hard tug on his consciousness. Everything went dark as his body fell to the ground with glazed over eyes.

Watching this happen, Yasaka gently lifted up his head and rested it on her lap. Running her fingers through his hair, she smiled softly at him before placing a free hand on his seal and channeling some of her power. Soon, her eyes also glazed over as her consciousness dived into the representation of Naruto's seal.

Where her fellow Kyuubi resided.


"I see," Kuroko mused aloud, having been informed of the situation surrounding her favorite blonde by the Hokage. "I assume that this Yōkai has taken over his training?"

"You'd assume correctly. I have provided them a private training ground so that Yasaka-san and her student, Kuroka, won't be bothered by the public."

"Makes sense," agreed the woman, sitting in her chair with a leg crossed over the other as she sipped her cup of coffee. "Sir…I'd like to take responsibility for their stay here in the village."

"That's a surprise, considering how unmotivated you behave regarding taking responsibility for other social cases," the Hokage pointed out, earning a careless shrug from Kuroko.

"There aren't many cases that caught my eye. Naruto's case was interesting considering WHO he is; not just WHAT he is. In the case of these two new faces, it's the opposite. It's WHAT they are that has my full attention," she explained. "Eventually, I think I'll try to make a sort of team with the three of them; along with any other special cases that may or may not pop up in the future."

"A team?"

"Yep! A team of – as far as public opinion is concerned – misfits who can prove to do some real good for the village and as a whole."

"I can see why that would capture your interest," admitted the elderly man. "We'll have to discuss this potential project of yours at a later date. Preferably when this who mess Orochimaru's presence has created is dealt with."

"Of course. No rush at all, Lord Hokage. However, regarding my request to take responsibility…?"

"Granted. You've proven yourself very capable with Naruto's growth. I'll sign off on the forms as soon as you fill them out."

Raising her cup in both thanks and understanding, she stood up and left the Hokage's office. She had some work to do; work she didn't plan to shove onto someone else.


"So…this is what a real Kyuubi looks like when not accessing their power," mused the Bijuu from behind the bars of its cage. "You look far to Human for my tastes; regardless of your vulpine features on display."

"And your power would've eclipsed my own with ease…if it was whole," fired back the Yōkai with a smirk.

"Feh! I don't need my missing half to obliterate you."

"I don't doubt that; but I wouldn't make it easy for you. Not by a long shot."

"Can we not get into a tail measuring contest inside the seal, please?" Naruto deadpanned. At their curious expressions, he grumbled in embarrassment, "Can't exactly call it dick measuring when neither of you have them, ttebayo…"

Both Kyuubi chuckled at his embarrassed face for different reasons.

"Anyway, thanks for letting me talk to you, Kyuubi," Naruto continued. "I know that neither of us are a fan of this situation we have; but I'd rather work with you than try to ignore you or shut you out. That'd make me no better than the villagers when I was growing up…"

Yasaka looked interested at that while the Kyuubi snorted and laid down on its forepaws. "And what do you suggest we do to work together?"

"I don't know… I mean, I doubt you'd just let me use your power; but maybe you'd be willing to help me in emergencies? Or as a last resort?"

"And what would I get in return for access to my vast chakra?"

"I can try to look for a way to give you some more freedom; aside from releasing you," he offered. "I doubt you like being behind bars in this dark place for the rest of my life."

"True… Seeing the same shadowed hall and unmoving bars got rather dull after the first few hours of consciousness in here."

"If I could contribute to this deal you both are making…?" Yasaka spoke up, earning their attention. "Back in my world, those who use chakra can turn their very life force into a weapon to strengthen their bodies and target the life force of others. If Naruto-kun could utilize your chakra to train in this method, I'd be more than happy to assist him in searching for a way to give you a sense of freedom. After all, I have access to chakra, demonic power, and magic to help us in this venture."

Naruto looked interested at the idea, turning to the Kyuubi to see what it thought. "Well…?"

Taking a moment to go over the deal – both original and add-on – the Kyuubi eventually reached the tip of one of its tails through a space between the bars. The tip stopped in front of the blonde Uzumaki and crimson eyes locked onto cerulean ones.

"…Deal."


"It's not much," Kuroko began, showing her three wards the new place that they would be living in, "but it's large enough to house you and anyone else I might decide to look after. Ten rooms, four baths, a large kitchen, and a private training ground. Not bad, if I do say so myself."

Naruto rolled his eyes and smiled at the woman tooting her own horn. "You didn't have to do this…"

"True, but I wanted to do this for you and your new guests, Darling," she said, placing a hand on his shoulder. "Besides, I'll be staying here as well; so, it'll be just like old times, only with more people."

He chuckled at that. "Yeah… Old times…"

"Now, you have a little over three weeks left of this month to get ready for the Finals. I suggest using your time wisely while letting me deal with furbishing this place to make it into a home instead of a base."

"How did you acquire a place like this, anyway?" Kuroka asked, looking around the large guest area of the building.

"Oh, some rich snob didn't like how this place was made; so, he placed it in the care of the village's realtors who couldn't find anyone willing to buy it for the price the snob wanted. So, I gave them an offer that made them think they came out on top, when really they didn't."

"How so?" Yasaka curiously asked.

"I merely mentioned Darling over here, and they jumped at the chance to keep him far from the populace. As I'm sure you know, many people dislike him; so, I used that misguided dislike to our advantage."

"Not sure I like seeing the village hating or fearing me as an advantage," Naruto cut in with a slight grimace.

"As a ninja in training, you must be ready to take advantage of any situation whenever you can. I know it's wrong to play on your status as a Jinchūriki; but at least it got us this place that's private enough for these two," she gestured to the two Yōkai women, "to not need to hide their natural features. Not to mention this place is far better than that apartment you were living in."

"I suppose… Still not a fan, though…"

"And that's completely understandable, and I apologize for making you feel that way. However, as your social worker and, more importantly, someone who wants to see you succeed, I'll do what I can to give you the tools to do so."

He couldn't help smiling at that, surprising the woman with a hug. Due to his smaller height, his head pressed against her breast while his arms wrapped around her midsection.

"Thank you…"

She smiled softly and had one hand wrap around his shoulders while the other pressed his head further against her breast. "You're very welcome, Darling…"

Yasaka and Kuroka both smiled at their moment, deciding to give them some space to explore the building.

After a few minutes of just holding one another, the two finally let go. Naruto had an embarrassed blush, having just realized what his cheek was touching while Kuroko had an easygoing smile on her face with the pink on her cheeks being nearly invisible.

He is her favorite blonde brat int eh village, after all.


Naruto, outlined in a thin orange aura, held a basic stance as he stood across from Kuroka. The Nekoshō was in a stance that had her balanced on her feet with her claws at the ready and her amber eyes sharp and attentive.

With nothing said, the two vanished and reappeared in the center of the field, both locked against one another and trying to gain ground. After a few seconds of struggling, the two backed off before charging again.

Naruto went with a flow only he could feel, throwing punches, elbows, and kicks that Kuroka avoided with her feline grace. She herself tried to catch him with slashes from her claws and kicks; even trying to trap his limbs with one of her two tails. However, he deflected everything she threw at him.

Both were even; Kuroka being evasive and Naruto being defensive in terms of countering the attacks of the other. Finding an opening, Naruto clapped his hands together before sending a burst of raw Wind Chakra at Kuroka; but she leapt away from the crude wave of wind and retaliated with a ball of fire magic that he backhanded away from him when it got close enough.

She grinned at his actions, crouching down on all fours with her tails swaying excitedly and her pupils narrowing into thin slits. In a blur, she appeared in front of him; but he surprised her by halting her advance with a vice grip hold on her extended wrist. Her surprise cost her, for she was pulled into a harsh knee that slammed into her gut and sent her sprawling back.

Rolling to a stop, she coughed and tried to catch her breath while Yasaka walked over and nodded approvingly. "Excellent spar, you two. Both of you played to your strengths and kept the other on their toes. It was only when Naruto reacted in time with your improved speed that you faulted, Kuroka. You must know not to underestimate your opponent; no matter who they are."

"Yes, sensei," she replied, being helped to her feet by Naruto. She smiled gratefully for the gesture, her cheeks slightly flushed from both the fight and her rising emotions.

It wasn't her fault that her instincts were telling her that her perfect mate was right beside her!

"Now Naruto," Yasaka continued, "understand that the use of Touki is NOT to be mishandled. One misstep and you damage your life force; something that can prove to be very disastrous to you, no matter if the Kyuubi tries to help you. Am I clear?"

"Crystal clear, sensei. I promise not to misuse this technique."

She smiled and nodded once. "Good man. Now, take some time to rest before we move onto your jutsu. But before that, I'd like to know something."

"What's that?"

"Why did you deny signing the Toad Contract that the Perverted Hermit offered to you?"

"No real reason other than I didn't want to be seen as another Toad Summoner like him and the Fourth. They both already made names for themselves thanks to the Toads and other techniques. I'll try out the handseals later and see what happens like Pervy Sage did when he was a Genin."

"I see. Be careful, though. You won't know where you'll end up until it's too late."

"Yeah, try not to get killed, Whisker-kun," Kuroka added, showing her own concerns about Naruto's plan.

"I will; promise," he assured them. "For now, I'm going to rest like you said, sensei. I'd like to be back to 100% before I start working on ninjutsu."

"Alright then. Kuroka, come with me. We'll keep working on your yōjutsu while Naruto practices," Yasaka stated.

"Yes, sensei," the Nekoshō replied before taking a moment to lean over to Naruto and kiss him on the cheek; right on his whisker markings. Smiling slyly at the blush on his face, she followed after Yasaka while looking back to give him a flirty wink. "Work hard, Whisker-kun~"

Still blushing, Naruto went off to a different area of the training ground. As he walked, he took a couple of breaths to recompose himself before stopping when he felt he was far enough.

"Okay," Naruto said to himself, raising a hand up to bite his thumb and draw blood. "Here we go."

He slowly went through the necessary handseals for the jutsu: Boar, Dog, Bird, Monkey, Ram.

With his bloody hand slamming onto the ground, Naruto's built up chakra spread out in a large circle made of various kanji as he cried out, "Summoning Jutsu!"

And then, in a burst of smoke, he vanished.


It was finally time.

The seats were filled with spectators both visiting and residential. The viewing booths were occupied by important dignitaries from various nations. The Kage suite was currently taken by the Hokage, the Kazekage, and the Raikage.

And down on the circular field were the Genin taking part in the Finals of the Chunin Exams along with the Jonin who would act as proctor for the matches.

From left to right there was:

Yugito Nii of the Hidden Cloud

Shikamaru Nara of the Hidden Leaf

Kankuro of the Hidden Sand

Neji Hyuuga of the Hidden Leaf

Rock Lee of the Hidden Leaf

Temari of the Hidden Sand

Shino Aburame of the Hidden Leaf

Gaara of the Hidden Sand

And finally, Naruto Uzumaki of the Hidden Leaf

Dressed differently for the event – thanks to the three women in his life – Naruto was seen wearing black ninja sandals and orange pants, over which he wore a black uniform jacket with an orange zipper and buttons on the waist and sleeves. On his left arm, he wore a red band with the Uzumaki Clan symbol stitched into it while his new headband's wrap was more elastic and held snugly in place on his forehead. Lastly, he had a kunai holster on his right leg and wore gloves with metal plates; similar to Kakashi's. (1)

'Sasuke and that Dosu guy aren't here yet… Hopefully they make it in time for their matches; especially since the Bastard has his match first,' mused the blonde Jinchūriki before he was brought back into focus by the voice of Genma Shiranui, the proctor.

"Look alive, boys and girls," he said to them, almost being unheard by the excitement of the spectators. "You all are the stars of this little show, so act like it."

None of the participating Genin looked amused at the man's attempted joke. Instead, they stood in line and waited for the start of the Finals.

It was finally time…


1~ Basically, his outfit from The Last

Merry Christmas to everyone on Fanfiction! I hope you all have a wonderful holiday full of love, and joy, and warmth. And I also hope you all have a splendid New Year!

Now, as for the chapter, I was purposely vague on many things. This way you guys hopefully stay intrigued enough to come back when this story is updated again, and when I show what this new Naruto is capable of!

Also, at the request of many people (and I TOTALLY agree with them, by the way), I have decided to add Centorea into the story!

However… That. Is. It! Please don't ask me to add anyone else because, quite frankly, 8 women is MORE than enough for a harem.

One last thing, the poll on my profile is officially over. The results are on my profile page!

Happy Holidays and see y'all next year!
