I'd like to thank everyone for the reviews. I'm glad you are liking my story so far.Now I'd like to answer some questions people have been asking me.
For phatpenguin: Most of the demons lordsI made up.Some are just Japanese names for animals, jisji is a way to say lion, but there are other ways to pronounce the Japanese word for lion.. But the universal guardians are the actual names for the guardians of the four directions in Japan. Orochi is an actual demon for Japanese myth that was kiiled by the god Susanoo. Dairouchimimaru is the only one i did make up it came from a friend of mine. She wrote a fanfiction and used it in her story. I had her permission to use the name.
For Jester12: Also in Japanese myths foxes are know for transforming into beautiful women to seduce men to their death. I think this is one of the reasons Naruto is able to do the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu so well.
It had been hours since Gaara, Naruto and Iruka had arrived at the Hokage's house. Iruka knew the meeting would take a couple of hours more, but they had really little to do. He then remembered something.
" Hey Naruto." Iruka started
" Yes?" Naruto answered
" What are the Nine Demon Lords?" Iruka asked, " Kyubi told us you were now one, but we had to ask you what they were exactly."
" Oh the Demon Lords are the ones that protect our realm from any demons that are summoned or cross over. There are nine in all. With one being the weakest and nine being the strongest. They also don't all have the tails some of the number goes by their heads." Naruto explained
" Then does that mean I'm a demon lord too?" Gaara questioned
" You know, I don't know. You'll have to ask Shukaku on that one." Naruto told him
Well? Gaara asked Shukaku
Not unless you want me to merge with you too. Until that happens I'm still the One-tailed Demon Lord. Shukaku explained
" He said No." Gaara told the group
It was at that time they heard a knock at the door. Iruka went to go see who it was and Naruto went to go hide behind the couch. Gaara watched and raised one eye to this. He noticed how useless it was for Naruto to hide because of his size.
"Oh hello Sasuke, Sakura. The Hokage isn't here right now." Iruka said
" Oh I'm surprised to see you here Iruka-sensei. We were actually looking for Naruto. When we went to go visit him in the hospital the nurse just said he was gone. We thought the Hokage might have moved him here to continue caring for him." Sakura answered
" Well he's not here right…" Iruka started
" Iruka-sensei let them in." Naruto yelled
" But the Hokage…" Iruka started
" I'm sure it'll be alright for them to see Me." he answered
" Are you sure about this Naruto?" Gaara questioned his friend
" Yes Gaara, their my teammates they have already accepted me before this happened. If anything they now see what has been in me my whole life. But be on alert just in case." Naruto told him, Gaara just nodded
As the three entered to room Sasuke and Sakura didn't see Naruto anywhere in sight.
" Alright dope where are you hiding at? I'm not in the mood right now." Sasuke said
He then received an elbow to the side from Sakura, who just shook her head.
Something is wrong. Why did Iruka-sensei tell us Naruto wasn't here, but he really was? Sakura thought
It was then that the fox walked out from behind the couch and sat beside Gaara.
" Gaara this isn't funny were is Naruto and what's up with the wolf-sized fox?" Sakura asked
It was them she noticed the foxes tails, not one, but nine swishing being him. She gasped and started to back away. This caused the fox to become upset.
" What's wrong Sakura?" Sasuke questioned, not having seem the tails
" Sasuke, it the Kyubi." Sakura said to him
He then looked at the fox and finally saw all of the tails.
" Kyubi is free?" Sasuke looked over at Iruka
" He's not the Kyubi." Gaara said
" Then who is it?" Sasuke asked then realized the answered, Gaara just nodded
" Naruto?" Sasuke whispered
" What about Naruto?" Sakura asked still not realizing who the fox really was
" It him Sakura." Sasuke said pointing to the fox
"That's not funny Sasuke-kun." She replied, getting mad he would say that was Naruto
" I'm afraid so Sakura-chan." Naruto finally said
" Naruto, this is not funny. Get out of that Henge right now." Sakura told him
" I wish I could." Naruto said sadly and turned to looked out the window, but only saw his reflection, " Oh, how I wished I could, but it's not a Henge. Kyubi and I merged."
" Why?" Sasuke asked
" So Orochimaru and Kabuto wouldn't cause anyone anymore problems. The only way I could destroy those two was if Kyubi and I merged, but even I didn't know what it would happen. Hell, Kyubi didn't even tell me until after the fight had ended and he incinerated the two to ashes." Naruto said now turning back to his two teammates
" It's my fault isn't it? If I hadn't of gone to Orochimaru then this wouldn't have happened to you. We would all be alright." Sasuke said
" No Sasuke, it wasn't your fault and even if you hadn't gone to the snake, we would've had to eventually fight him and this would have still happened. Really if it's anyone's at fault it's me for not asking Kyubi soon enough if there were and side effects to the jutsu. Ha, but you know me always wanting to learn and know the draw-backs later." Naruto said smiling up at his friends
" I'm sorry I scared you Sakura-chan." Naruto said not able to look at her
" You didn't scare me Naruto." She answered
This caused Naruto to look at the skeptically.
" Ok, but you could of talked to something. I thought you were the Kyubi." Sakura now told him
" Na, but even if I was Kyubi, he wouldn't of hurt you guys. Remember Orochimaru is the one that messed with him. He was actually a really nice Demon Lord after you got to know him." Naruto answered
" Demon Lord?" Sasuke questioned
" Yeah there are like nine demons that guard our realm from other demons. Apparently Kyubi was like the strongest of them all. Now that he's gone it my job." Naruto said
" WHAT!" Sasuke and Sakura screamed, causing Naruto to cover his ears
" Geeze not so loud. It's no biggy, I think?" Naruto said
" No biggy you are the strongest demon in the world." Sakura said
" Yes and No, but it's really complicated, so I don't want to get into it right now." Naruto said, " So you guys don't hate me and we're still friends, right?"
" Yeah, why wouldn't we be?" Sasuke asked looking at him, " What because now your actually the Kyubi. I don't have a problem with it, Sakura."
" No I'm ok with it." Sakura answered
" Good cause I might be like this for a while. I don't know how to change back right now, but I'm sure there's a way. I just have to figure it out." Naruto said
" Oh well we going to have to go. I have to be back on the compound in like 5 minutes or I'll have Anbu after me, so well see you later." Sasuke said as he and Sakura started to head for the door
" Don't worry Naruto I'm sure Hokage-sensei will figure something out. Of course you always come up with something at the most unusual time too." Sakura said and then they were gone
Five minutes later Tsunade, Jiraiya, Shizune, and Kakashi showed up. Tsunade looked like she had been to hell and back.
" Yo!" Kakashi greeted them
" Iruka-sensei I just get to see all of my team today. Don't I." Naruto said happily
" All of his team?" Jiraiya questioned Iruka, who started laughing
" Hehe, well you see Sasuke and Sakura came by and were looking for Naruto. I told them he wasn't here, but then Naruto told them to come in." Iruka explained
" HE WHAT!" Tsunade yelled
" Their my teammates Obaa-chan. I had to tell them." Naruto said
" Alright, so it went alright." Tsunade said calming down
" Well, Haruno-san did get scared at first, but that was before Naruto talked. Personally I think he was having fun trying to freak them out." Gaara said
" NO! It's just…" Naruto started but looked at the window again, " Well look at me. I really am the Kyubi now. What all the villagers have been saying all these years is now true. I don't even know how to change back or if I can."
" Naruto look Tsunade and I are still looking for a way to change you back, but it's going to take time. Until then you're going to have to stay here for a while. OK." Jiraiya said
" Yeah." Naruto said sadly
" Well look at is this way Naruto. Sasuke and Sakura didn't have a problem with the new you after you told them what happened." Iruka said
" Yeah, well they've both known about the Kyubi for a while now. What about my other friends? What are they going to say when they see me? I just don't know if it's good for me to stay here anymore." Naruto said
" Don't say that Naruto-kun. I'm sure they'll be all right with it. Once it's explained to them. Please cheer up." Shizune said
"Obaa-chan, is it alright if I go for a walk. I promise to not go into town. I just need to think." Naruto asked
" Go on Naruto." Tsunade said as she opened the door and Naruto walked out
" Don't you think someone should go with him?" Iruka asked
" She's already ahead of you. Got two Anbu on him if he leaves here." Kakashi told the man
" Speaking of, how did the meeting go?" Iruka now asked with Naruto gone
" I don't want to talk about it. I'm going to need a lot of sake this week that's for sure." Tsunade replied
" Well if I'm not needed anymore. I will go back to the hotel and see you all later." Gaara said
" Hotel?" Tsunade asked
" Yes, when I felt Naruto's chakra burst during the finalization of the merger I decided to stay a while longer. So Kankurou and Temari went back to the hotel. Though I think Temari's probably with the Nara boy right now." Gaara said
" Why didn't you tell me earlier Gaara? You all can stay here at my house there is enough room and I'm sure Naruto would like your company. Since he's probably going to have to stay inside for a while. At least until I can figure a way to tell the whole village he's the Kyubi now. That's going to be another headache I can tell." Tsunade said
" I don't want to inconvience you Hokage." Gaara said
" Nonsense, I'm sure my house is better than that cramped hotel you all are in. Just come in the morning and we'll fix you guys up." Tsunade explained
" As you wish." Gaara said and then vanished being transported by sand to the hotel room
" Hinata." Hiashi called
" Yes father?" Hinata said finding him in has study
" I want you to take this key to the Hokage in the morning. She will know what it is for. Do you understand?" Hiashi said
" Yes father…" Hinata said
" There is something else isn't there." Hiashi said
" Um Ano sa, father is it alright if I go for a walk to the lake tonight. Is so nice out and the moon is full, I was wanting to …" Hinata said
" You may go." Hiashi said before she could add more
" Thank you father." Hinata said
She then ran out of the room and headed out of the compound. Hiashi just watched her leaving and smiled
" She had no idea how much she is like her mother. Does she Neji?" Hiashi asked the boy who had been hiding in the shadows
" No sir, I don't believe she does. Do you wish for me to follow her?" Neji asked
" No something tells me to let her be for tonight." Hiashi said, " Well let's retire nephew."
