Chapter 6: Bijuu Life

10 years 10 Months before Canon.

The sun began to rise over Uzushiogakure and the citizens that called the village home began to stir. On the east side of Uzu the sun's rays hit a large compound surrounded by stone walls.

On the stone walls was a beautifully painted mural. The mural took the form of the nine tailed beasts accompanied by Otsutsuki Hagoromo, their father. The compound was the Uzushio orphanage, where the children who came to live in the village would reside until; they were old enough to go out on their own.

The Orphanage was run by one Kokuō the Gobi (Five Tails). When Uzushio had been reconstructed Kokuō had asked if the orphanage could be modelled after the Uzumaki clan compound but with a few alterations, one being the unique mural on the wall. The second, the rooms had been altered to accommodate up to three hundred children without squeezing them all together. The third change was she had asked Naruto to ensure the orphanage was large enough to accommodate the size she would take, often shifting between the sizes of a large dog to that of a tall horse. The Fourth and final change was the large dining room with kitchen add on that was centred in a large building in the middle of the compound; the rooms for the children were in a building in a U shape around the dining hall.

Kokuō was making her way through her home. She had changed her form shrinking down to the size of a horse in order to walk through the hallways of the orphanage. It was early in the morning around seven and she was doing her duties in waking up the children. She would go door to door knocking on them with her horns and peek on in, "Wake my children, morning has come."

Kokuō would call to the children in a soft motherly voice, her voice making them stir. She would smile as they sat up in their beds, stretching their limbs giving loud yawns. Each of the beds were designed specifically for each child, this would ensure each child received the rest they needed. The beds had been made by Naruto, through the use of the Banbutsu Souzou (Creation of All Things). The idea was that once a child left, the bed would be pulled apart as Naruto absorbed the chakra in it and recreated it for the next child.

Kokuō continued on through the halls waking up the last of the children, before she started her way to the dining hall. She hummed to herself as left the dorms. Her hoofs clopped against the stone path heading into the dining hall. She used a tail to push the door open making her way inside, in the middle of the room was a long rectangle shaped table. She headed towards the kitchen opening the door making her way through. She used her tails and manipulated her chakra in the form of arms to help her start the day. During her time sealed inside of Han she had learned much from the strange man.

To many Han seemed to be a rough barbarian, a giant of a man who intimidated all who came across him. But beneath that hard quiet exterior, was a soft, kind and gentle soul. A man who enjoyed taking care of small animals, who used his past time cooking up strange and wondrous meals.

Ever since she had taken over the orphanage she would try out the recipes she remembered him making, adding Han's little twists to them and trying them herself before passing them on to the children. Han was not just a powerful Shinobi but a true culinary genius. She truly missed her old container, she remembered him as a child where she would sing lullabies to help him sleep at night, to sooth him of the night terrors he would have of those he killed. She always felt horrible every time Han was forced to kill in the name of Iwagakure. Curse Hashirama for handing her over to that horrible village, if he hadn't Han would never have had to experience that life. The man had been an idiot to hand her and her siblings out, it only brought more War.

Kokuō looked through the window connecting the kitchen and the dining room as her children started spilling in. They were all in their pyjamas making their way over to a table against the wall where they collected a plate, small bowl, knife, fork, spoon and a cup. Once they had their cutlery they then quietly made their way to the table taking their assigned seats.

When children first arrived she made sure they assimilated to the routine. She had four tables along the wall opposite the kitchen and each table had what they would need for every one of their meals, Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner and Dessert. She always made sure to have something sweet for the kids. They would then take their cutlery over to the table where they each had an assigned chair and could then chat amongst themselves as they waited for her. She would always be seated at the head of the table near the door.

Kokuō divided her chakra where it split apart as she created four clones of herself that went about taking the dishes she finished into the dining hall. The clones placed the food down on the table. The kids would wait patiently for her to join, one of the rules she had. They must all wait for her to join them before they were allowed to eat, to instil manners in them.

With the last of the dishes out, she walked from the kitchen and headed over. Each meal would alter every day. Today she had brought out white rice, brown rice, jasmine rice, fried pork with ginger, miso soup, vegetable soup, fried egg, boiled fish, chicken fried with curry spices and lastly fruit. The kids would be given two fruits and would have to eat one, before they were allowed to leave, today they would have to pick between a banana or a mandarin. She would often serve breakfast with orange juice, pineapple juice, apple juice or water.

Kokuō smiled at her children as she sat at the head of the table, "Thank you for the food" she said bringing her hooves together, bowing her head.

"Thank you for the food" cried out the large group of children ranged between the ages of two and thirteen. Some of the older children began to assist those younger than them, helping them pick out what they wanted to eat, it brought a smile Kokuō face.

Kokuō felt a small tug on one of her tails causing her to turn, there to her left was a small girl three years of age in a yellow gown holding a brown teddy bear in her right hand.

"Thank you Kokuō-kaa-chan food" spoke the child as she swayed back and forth with a big smile on her lips. She had miss pronounced a few of her words and leaving others out, it was to be expected as she was only young.

Kokuō smiled at the young girl, lifting a tail to pat her on the head, the child's smile doubled in size, "Thank you very much Nana-chan."

The young girl identified as Nana ran off to her seat giggling cutely.

Kokuō watched the little girl run off; pride began to swell up inside of her. As she turned to look over the rest of her children, her pride swelled even further, watching them laugh as they ate. They used their manners making sure to swallow before they spoke and it filled her with great joy to know that her teachings were rubbing off on them.

As breakfast came to an end Kokuō clapped her hooves together, catching her children's attention, "Now that we have finished what do we do next?"

"Clean our plates!" Came the unanimous cry as the kids grabbed their utensils, heading over to the large kitchen to rinse their dishes under hot water. When she had the kitchen installed, in one part was a long sink like trough with taps, the trough had different height settings dropping constantly to allow for the various ages to reach with ease.

Kokuō watched her smile never leaving as her children cleaned their plates taking turns, the bigger kids would move down the line to help the little ones, before they dried and placed them to one side, every child making sure to use the dish washing soap provided to wash everything thoroughly for tomorrow. As they were all done they lined up in the hallway.

"Now it's seven forty what do we do next?" asked the five tailed dolphin horse as she eyed each and every child present.

One of the younger children, a young boy of ten years with long white hair, he had an eyepatch over his right eye and his left eye was ruby red, stepped forward.

"Uuummm…we wash up and change kaa-chan?" spoke the young boy in a soft timid voice.

Kokuō's gaze softened, the young boy had been the unfortunate victim of pirates, taken in as a forced cabin boy. He had accidentally spilt water on the Captain who had removed the poor boy's right eye. He had come in three months ago. Naruto had the power to repair the boy's eye but he was one of many cases. Kokuō had asked that the boy holds off so that he could adjust to his new life, get set in his routine make friends before he underwent the surgery for his new eye.

It had taken a while before the boy, Taro, had opened up to others. He was a timid shy little boy, but he was coming out of his shell. Like the others, he had attached himself to her calling her mother like all the rest and she saw him as her child. Taro had been doing remarkably well in his therapy sessions with her, where they merely talked about different things and what the boy was feeling. He had been doing so well Kokuō had booked him into seeing Naruto next week to have his right eye repaired.

"Correct Taro-kun well done, now off you go. Remember those that have to go to the Civilian Academy need to leave by eight thirty for class at nine, those attending the Shinobi Academy need to leave by eight to be at school by eight thirty. So be sure to get in first or you'll be late. I expect the rest of you to be wary of your sibling's school times too. I will be visiting the Academies at one to drop off your lunches. Everyone else, we will be visiting the park" Kokuō then shooed everyone off.

She chuckled as they walked out of the front door, the children attending the Shinobi academy at the front. She had taught them to look out for one another and as the Shinobi Academy starts earlier, everyone had to be patient and wait for them to finish before they were allowed to use the bathrooms. Kokuō hummed as she headed out of the dining hall creating a clone to clean up the kitchen. The Gobi headed into the dorms making her way to her room. She entered into the larger than normal bedroom. The room mainly had a large futon mattress in the middle of the room covered in dozens of pillows with blankets, she enjoyed her comfort.

Kokuō hummed as she made her way over to a bed side table that had a large photo on it. The photo was of her surrounded by all her children. She was in the middle and all her children around her, shortest and youngest at the front with the tallest in the back. Her tails had grown out to wrap around all her children in one big hug as Naruto took the photo. She smiled at the memory, every time a new child arrived once they settled in, a photo was always retaken to include them and the old photos hung throughout the building.

Kokuō housed a total of eighty-seven children in this big home of hers and slowly that number was growing week by week, Naruto's clones constantly bringing home children they had rescued from Slave Traders. Of course it wasn't always children lately he had been rescuing teenagers and adults. She had seen a few Merfolk around the village, mostly Mermaids as they were highly valued on the slave market. The mermaids were able to float around Konoha in little bubbles around their waists that allowed them to float on land.

The bubbles were created through a method by Naruto. After having read up on Merfolk, he had found out about the inner tubes Mermaids would wear while on dry land to help them move about. Using sealing techniques and combining them with the genius of certain individuals whose memories he had absorbed, Orochimaru being one of them, he had created a way produce inner tubes. He had created a small hand held device, with a button the top that when pressed would cause chakra inside the seals to activate. Each seal was designed to draw in surrounding nature chakra in order for them to remain active. The seals would incorporate wind and water nature chakra to give it shape at the end of the device to create the bubble like tube. He had created another version based on what he had read up on bubbly coral, the device function much the same creating bubbles for transport or bubbles that allowed people to breathe under water.

Kokuō came out of her thoughts as the clock in her room began the chime. Was it eight o clock already? Kokuō headed out of her room making her way through the halls, marching towards the front gates. Upon arrival she spotted her children heading to the gates with their backpacks, each ready to begin their day at the Shinobi Academy. She waved each of them off making sure they had everything they needed, before wishing them luck.

Out of the eighty-seven children under her care, twenty-eight were enrolled in the Shinobi Academy, with another thirty-seven enrolled in the civilian academy. She respected their choices to do with their lives as they pleased, though she herself was a pacifist, someone who opposed war and violence, however that did not mean she wouldn't stand up and fight for what was right. She may not agree one hundred percent with Naruto's dream, but she would support him when he called for her aid. She would fight to ensure the protection of her precious sons and daughters.

Kokuō stood by the gates watching her children run off in the distance, her smile never leaving. The Biju turned heading back towards the Orphanage to ensure the remainder of her children were getting ready for the day. As she entered she spotted her children running about, heading to the bathrooms to shower and change. Some had already finished and were aiding the younger children in preparing for the day, before grabbing their bags. Like the others it was time for them to leave, she would wave to them and wish them luck with their day.

As nine o clock finally came she headed to the gate, a small crowd of children aged four and under. The youngest was only two and were riding on her back, arms of chakra created to support them. Kokuō had learned over the years to lower the potency of her chakra, allowing it to come in contact with others without burning them.

Kokuō hummed as she escorted the group of twenty-two children through Uzushiogakure. She would smile at those who passed her by, interacting with the few adults in the village. The walk to the park was a pleasant trip for both her and her charges. Throughout the walk Kokuō would tell tales of her time with Han, telling them of his adventures. Of course, she lowered the rating for a suitable audience and only told them about the more heroic deeds performed by her container.

The children had become fascinated by her kind hearted Jinchuriki the moment she began to spin her tales of him. Some had even proclaimed that they would become a strong and kind Shinobi one day like him. It touched her heart and brought tears to her eyes every time she heard them.

Kokuō felt grass beneath her hooves forcing her from her thoughts as they arrived at the park. She smiled as she admired the lush green lawns, fields of flowers, beautiful sakura and oak trees that surrounded them and in the middle a large playground. The playground had been added by Naruto recently and was quite large and extravagant.

"Children why don't you go play" instructed Kokuō as she helped the toddlers down from her back. She watched them as they walked and in some cases waddled over to the play equipment. Some chose to head to the sand box, some the slides, some for the swings, some the swing and bounce, others to the climbing nets then there were those who chose the spinners. There was something for everyone.

Kokuō headed off to the side, lying under the shade of a large oak. She picked a spot that gave her a perfect view of the playground, allowing her to keep an eye on all her children as she watched them, her tails flicking back and forth in amusement.

"You seem cheery today Kokuō" A voice from her left called, one she was all too familiar with.

"How are you Matatabi?" asked Kokuō as she turned to face the two tailed hell cat who was currently as tall as a horse. Besides the cat, Kokuō could spot a tuft of white hair poking out from around Matatabi's right front paw. The hair belonged to the three-year-old Shirone who was hugging tightly to Matatabi's leg.

"I am well Kokuō thank you for asking" replied Matatabi as she walked forward, Shirone sticking close as they approached the dolphin horse.

Kokuō smiled towards the shy Shirone watching as the girl clung tightly to her mother; "Hello Shiro-chan" spoke the tailed beast with five tails in a calm soothing tone.

The little girl poked her head out shyly staring at the tailed beast who was as large as her mother, "H-H-H-Hello Kokuō-san" the little girl bowed cutely before hiding back behind her mother's leg, earning a smile from the cat.

Kokuō smiled at the actions of the little girl; at least she was happy "I take it your sister Kuroka-chan is at the Shinobi Academy today?"

"Y-Y-Yes" answered the white haired girl with a small stutter, she was not yet use to her new surroundings.

Kokuō flicked a tail through the air seeming to startle the little girl. Kokuō gave her an apologetic look; she hadn't meant to startle the little kitten.

Matatabi purred softly licking Shirone's right cheek, getting a blush from her kitten. Matatabi then used a paw to push Shirone forward, "Don't be scared kitten; Kokuō won't hurt you."

Shirone looked at her mother before working up her courage. She took a single step forward towards the other Biju inspecting her carefully. As she got closer she reached out with her right hand placing it against Kokuō's coat. A smile spread across her lips as she began to pet Kokuō, giggling cutely. As she giggled her cat ears and tails appeared, showing how happy she was.

Kokuō smiled at the young girl, carefully lifting a tail to brush against the girl before patting her on the head. The girl seemed to purr at her touch, much like a cat. Kokuō supposed it was only natural that the little girl would have gained a few cat like traits due to her Akuma no Mi.

A loud distressed cry echoed over the park drawing the attention of the two Biju and single devil fruit user.

Kokuō looked up her eyes narrowing as she caught sight of one of her children on the ground. It was the young girl Nana from breakfast earlier that morning.

Kokuō headed over galloping towards the down girl, her tails swaying beside her as she arrived on the scene. The young girl Nana was sitting on the ground, holding her right knee rocking back and forth crying loudly, tears spilling down her cheeks.

Kokuō took a closer look seeing that Nana has scraped her right knee.

"What happened little one?" enquired the Biju as she stood next to her daughter, her tails wrapping around the girls frame to sooth her.

"I…..running….chaises….fall….knee….hurts" cried out the little girl her words being drowned out by her cries, but Kokuō was able to get the message.

Nana had been running along playing chaises with some of the other children, she then most likely tripped over falling to the ground. The girl had then skinned her knee and it hurt rather badly.

Kokuō released a soothing thrill from her throat as she lowered one of her five tails. The tip of the tail glowed bright green as it hovered over the knee. Using the manipulation of chakra she began to heal the wound causing it to close up. One of the few skills she had picked up over the years. She had learned how to use her less than potent chakra for other purposes, such as healing. As the matron of the Orphanage, she took it as her duty to learn a wide variety of skills to aid in the treatment of her children.

Nana looked up with a smile as her knee no longer hurt. The little girl climbed to her feet reaching up to wrap her arms around Kokuō neck giving her a hug, "Thank you Kaa-chan."

The little girl gave the Biju a kiss on the cheek, before running off to resume playing with her friends.

Kokuō smiled softly at her daughter watching as the little girl ran off to play with her friends once more. The Biju made her way back to her sibling. Kokuō lay down beside Matatabi who was enjoying the shade, lying beside the feline was the young girl Shirone who was cuddling up in the two tailed cats' fur.

Kokuō watched quietly as her sister Matatabi and her new 'kitten' drifted off to sleep beside her. Kokuō chuckled softly as she turned her focus back to her young children who continued to play the day away.


Uzushio Forest

Lying in the middle of a clearing in the forest that surrounded Uzushiogakure was none other than the Yonbi no Bein'O, Son Goku. The Four Tailed Monkey King was lounging about currently the size of a giant, basking in the sun light as its rays shined down upon him. He had nothing better to do with his time than lay about in the light of the sun. He spent most of his times napping in the sun or sleeping in molten rock deep beneath the island of Uzu no Kuni.

Son gave a yawn as he rolled over onto his right side, his right arm propped up under his head. He gave another loud yawn shutting his eyes. His left hand scratched his belly as he felt himself beginning to slip away into the darkness. Son was brought out of his descending slumber when he felt something poke him in the back. He ignored it, attempting to drift off only to be poked again. He continued to ignore it, but as he ignored it the poking occurred more and more. The poking continued until it reached a point where Son could no longer tolerate it, so he decided to find out what it was.

Son rolled over and spotted a young boy around seven years of age, who was quite tall standing at a height of five foot two. The boy had fiery red hair that actually looked like a mass of wild flames. The boy had deep amethyst purple eyes to go with his fiery look. The kid was wearing black cargo pants with bright red flames running down the legs. He wore a short sleeved black kimono top with flames along the sleeves and shoulders, a dark red sash around his waist. The boy wore no shoes.

Son eyed the kid as the boy looked at him. Son slowly sat up, the two never breaking eye contact as they looked at one another. As time passed Son was the first to speak, "Who are you?"

The kid seemed to smirk as he hopped on one leg doing a little dance, "I am the rising inferno who crosses volcanic ash without fear. I am the legend who will transverse great seas and desserts to bring about peace. I am the light that protects all from the darkness of the world. I am the great Vladimir! A man who will grow to be feared by all as the strongest Shinobi!" shouted the boy as he hopped on one leg moving an arm through the air, the dance reminded him of Jiraiya but the boasting reminded the Biju of himself.

As the dance ended Son burst into a loud roaring laughter at the kid's declaration. The great Vladimir, a rising inferno, to be the strongest shinobi this kid had big dreams. Son fell to his stomach roaring with laughter, a hand hitting the ground as tears spilt from his eyes. Son recomposed himself as he looked down at the kid called Vladimir, the kid's smirk never dropping. There was something about the way the kid spoke and that look in his eyes that suggested he thoroughly believed he would achieve his dream. He spoke with such conviction that Son could swear he actually believed the kid would do great things.

Son smirked down at the boy, "Vladmir was it?" he got a nod in response. He remembered how Roshi use to boast in his youth that he would become a Shinobi stronger than any other. The way the kid spoke with such conviction it reminded him of Naruto, with his goal of bringing peace to this rotten world.

"I like you kid" Son held out his right fist extended towards the kid who eyed the fist with a confused look, "Bump fists with me kid I got a gift for you."

The kids smirk grew as he extended his right fist pushing it against the much larger appendage of the Four Tailed Beast.

Son concentrated his chakra flowing through his body to connect with the boy's reserves. He let his chakra seep into the boy decreasing its potency. His chakra mixed in fusing to the boy's reserves causing the kids coils to expand. Son removed his fist after gifting his chakra to the boy.

"Show me what you got kid. From this day on you and me are partners" proclaimed the King of Monkey's as he gave a bellowing laugh one that was matched by the young Vladimir. Son could only smirk on the inside, he could see a lot of Roshi in the kid and he couldn't wait to see how the kid turned out.


Uzushio Mountains

Shukaku stomped through the mountain range that surrounded Uzushiogakure. The Sand Tanuki was stomping around while the size of a giant. He would often come up to the mountains for a little peace and quiet so he could be himself. Very few ever came up to this part of the mountain, most tended to visit the shrines at the top, or the Hokage Faces on the inside wall to pay their respects to the fallen leaders.

The giant Tanuki stomped around his feet cracking the ground. He laughed as he stomped about without a care, his single tail swaying through the air behind him. He was so happy to be free. He knew Naruto would never seek to seal him or his siblings and it made him happy. He didn't have to worry about looking over his shoulder encase someone tried to seal him up. It had become a rule of the village that none of the Biju were to be sealed away; those were Naruto's exact words when he had made the decree.

Shukaku could remember his time in Sunagakure and it had always been unpleasant. The only time he had felt complacent during his time in the Village of Sand, was when he had been sealed away inside of Bunpuku. The priest had always been so kind to him, always there to talk. The two had spent many years just talking about their past. The old priest Bunpuku took after his own father, Otsutsuki Hagomoro in many ways. As such when he had been extracted he had felt what could be called 'sad' at the loss of the priest. Bunpuku had not deserved to die nor had he deserved the treatment from the village, curse that blasted Shodai Kazekage Reto.

Shukaku also cursed Senju, Hashirama the fool of a Shodai Hokage had the power to bring the other villages under his rule, but he had handed out his siblings as if they were toys to the other villages. It sickened him; a man who craved peace only caused more war. Due to Hashirama's actions, many Jinchuriki were created and they all shared the same fate, to be used and abused by their village. While it may not have been true for some Jinchuriki, it was for most that were brought into existence.

Shukaku pushed his thoughts away, no point in cursing the dead. The fools from the previous era of chakra were long gone and now there was a new era. He looked forward to seeing how the village would flourish under Naruto's rule. His friend was a little worried about how things would turn out, but the Tanuki trusted that Naruto would do just fine.

As Shukaku stomped along the mountain range he picked up a voice in the distance.

"Doton: Iwa Hashira (Earth Release: Stone Pillars)!"

The Tanuki could feel the manipulation of earth nature chakra as it was released into the ground. Was someone practising their Jutsu up here? His curiosity raised Shukaku headed towards the sound of the voice, where several loud gun shots echoed from in rapid succession, followed by loud cursing.

"DAMN IT!"

As he got closer to the voice he found himself in a small rocky field where a young boy was standing in the middle. The boy was eleven years of age standing at a height of five foot. He had short spiky teal hair and emerald green eyes with fair skin. The boy was dressed in black open toed ninja sandals, long navy blue trousers with a short sleeve white shirt. The kid appeared to be in his final year of the academy. Though it was what the kid was carrying that drew in Shukaku's attention.

In each of the boy's hands, he had a flintlock rifle. Unlike the rifles that had been brought to the island by Naruto these ones were modified, a style he had never seen. The barrels were slightly shorter for the kid's shorter frame. The trigger itself appeared to be some sort of lever while running along the gun cartridge Shukaku could spot a number of seals engraved into the metal. Along the barrel of the gun were more seals. From what he could see from the distance there was a basic storage seal on the cartridge, while along the barrel there was a re-enforcement seal. As he narrowed his eyes he picked up an Element Conversion seal, with the element symbol for Fire built in.

Shukaku shrank down to the size of a dog to hide behind a boulder as the kid placed his rifles on the ground, followed up by forming the snake seal.

"Doton: Iwa Hashira (Earth Release: Stone Pillars)!" The kid placed his hands on the ground, earth nature chakra being released into the landscape. The earth shook as six pillars of stone shot up from the ground surrounding the kid in a hexagon formation.

The teal haired boy picked up his twin rifles and spun them, the levers detaching in the spin as the storage seal lit up. The boy took a stance. The kid took aim and fired at the two directly in front of him. The seals along the barrel lit up as two rounds were fired from the barrel at high speed. The bullets pierced through the air with a loud bang, impacting against the pillars with enough force to shatter them.

Shukaku being closer caught another seal on the barrel, a seal designed to increase the force of a projectile. He had once seen Bunpaku apply a similar seal to a pebble and watch it demolish solid stone. The kid must have applied something similar, no doubt designed to incorporate chakra into his projectiles to increase their stopping power.

The kid went into his spinning movement, the sound of the guns reloading echoed through the air. The kid held his arms out to the side pointing at the next two pillars. The kid squeezed the triggers, this time the seals for fire lit up. Roaring fire burst forth from the barrel launching through the air. Two fireballs the size of tennis balls shot through the air and in the middle a bullet. The fireball encased bullets crashed into the pillars exploding on impact. The stone pillars crumbled under the force.

The kid spun on his heels turning to face the last two pillars. He spun his rifles reloading them and fired, this time no seals lit up, immediately after firing, the kid reloaded with a spin of his rifles and fired, unleashing a constant reign of bullets on his targets. The bullets ripped into the stone piercing through it, causing it to crumble by the time the kid was done. The boy spun the twin rifles before placing them on his back, where he made them stick through the use of chakra.

Shukaku stepped out from behind the rock clapping his clawed hands, causing the kid to jump in fright. The tanuki gave the kid a grin, "Impressive. I've never seen weapons like those."

Shukaku lifted a clawed hand to point to the flintlock rifles on the boys back.

The kid scratched the back of his head sheepishly, "Thanks. I designed them myself" the kid spoke with pride as he mentioned designing the unique rifles himself.

"Designed them yourself? That's quite clever. From the seals along the cartridge and barrel I take it you are a practitioner of Fuuinjutsu?" spoke the Sand Tanuki as he stood inches from the boy, his eyes never leaving the twin rifles on the kids back.

"Yes. I find Fuinjutsu to be rather interesting and I seem to have a knack for it, along with tinkering with weapons."

The boy removed one of his rifles from his back and tossed it towards Shukaku who grabbed it.

Shukaku looked over the strange rifle in his hand, "So what do you call it?"

"Not really sure, but I suppose I'd have to go with the Repeating Rifle. As you can see the storage seal activates when the lever is pulled to reload. My first model allowed me to store five rounds in the cartridge, I've modified that thanks to a storage seal, now I store my ammo in the seal and as I use the lever the seal activates replacing the ammo I used. With the seal I can continue to reload without having to stop and do it manually myself" boasted the young boy as he rubbed the bridge of his nose, he seemed quite pleased with his work. He didn't like to boast, but when it came to the mechanics of weaponry and machinery he was quite the genius.

"Hooou very impressive young…" Shukaku paused as he turned to look back at the boy.

"Dominic. My name's Dominic, no last name" answered the boy identified as Dominic.

Shukaku handed the rifle back over to Dominic, "Well Dominic nice to meet you, as you already know I'm Shukaku,"

"I know Shukaku-san. I visit your shrine weekly to pray and give my offerings."

The Tanuki raised a curious eyebrow, this kid prayed at his shrine on a weekly basis. The kid was starting to gain his interest. From what he could see the kid was a budding genius when it came to tinkering with gadgets and seals, not to mention it seemed he had pretty decent control over his earth element from what he saw.

"Tell me what's your element affinity kid?" enquired the Tanuki as he leaned against a rock.

"Wind and Earth. Why do you ask?" the boy raised his right eyebrow in curiosity, why would the great Biju be asking what his elements were.

Shukaku smirked; perhaps he should take the kid under his wing. He had heard about the little girls Matatabi had come to see as her own daughters than there was Kokuō and her manipulated his size growing to the height of a giant; before he held out his right arm, forming a fist as he extended it towards Dominic, "Fist bump with me kid. I just met you…but I can already tell I like you. So I'm taking you under my wing, how's that sound."

Dominic blinked at the Biju, the Tanuki wanted to take him under his wing? He couldn't believe it, never in a million years did he ever think a Biju would take any interest in him, he would be a fool not to take it. Dominic took a step forward giving a smirk; he pushed his right fist up against Shukaku's. As he pushed his fist against Shukaku's he could feel a surge of chakra rush into his body, his eyes widen. He could feel his chakra connecting with Shukaku's, the Biju's chakra mixing in with his own. He felt slight pain as his chakra system expanded to accommodate and welcome the Biju's chakra.

Shukaku removed his fist with a small smirk, "I look forward to working with you kid. I expect great things of you."

"You won't regret it Shukaku-san!" shouted the young Dominic as he gave the Tanuki a salute, he would not let the Biju down.
