Summary- As the Yodaime had sealed the Kyuubi into his son, for some reason, the seal had gone wrong for a moment and the Kyuubi had seemed like it had never been sealed. Instead, The boy and the kitsume had two separate forms in which were spiritually linked, if one were to die, the other would as well.

Chapter 5: As the Years Pass
When Naruto and Kyuubi had first entered the youma's world, the first thing they said at arriving was the word 'wow'. It's not like they expected it to be barren or anything or to be a city…but by the looks of where they were, it was almost like being a small person in an extremely large world.
Their surroundings were much like their own place as it was bustling with demons and they moved around, all demons were of many different sizes as it seemed, but there also was another half though which was secluded from life as it seems it does not have many life forms there.
"It seems like you took the choice of coming"
"Yeah, we did. But who are you exactly?" Naruto said.
"I am one of the more intelligent youmas as Kyuubi once was until he was blinded by anger."
"So there are differences in youmas…just like humans the same. What's your name?" Kyuubi asked.
"My name is Malak, for I am a spirit of guidance for all lost souls." Malak said.
"But we were never dead, but how come you appeared to us?" Naruto said.
"It is for you two hold potential within the both of you, there are two paths from which you two will reach a fork in the road. In this fork, one of you shall move one way, being through the city, and the other which shall go through the plains. Choose now as my patience runs thin over time." Malak says.
"Great…two paths…but I don't want to separate, but we have too." Naruto said.
"I don't either, but we will meet again right? Let's ask Malak." Kyuubi said. "Malak, are we going to meet again over time?"
"This is only temporary as both of you travel on. When you receive the gift you have come for, may your journey end from once it began." Malak said.
"Great! So we will meet again…so who goes where?" Naruto asked.
"Rock, paper, scissor you for which path…never mind that's too complicated. Head or tails. Tails I go to the right, heads I go to the left." Kyuubi said.
"Sounds good to me, let's do it so we can get it over with." Naruto said.
Kyuubi then flipped the coin as it made a whistle in the air, how she got her coin she never figured out herself. It just appeared out of nowhere. The coin dropped as it hit the ground as it was still. It was Heads…
"Great, I get heads. The one with barely any life, now how am I going to live there?" Kyuubi said.
"Well, I got huge demons that can easily squash me accidentally without themselves noticing!" Naruto countered her complaint.
"Good, now that you have finished choosing where you are going to go, I will give you one last piece of advice before I leave. There will be a key ability that you are supposed to learn in the place you are going to, figure it out and you shall move on quickly." Malak said as he was about to disappear.
"Wait! What about telling us about the Kyuubi, you said something about him being blinded by rage right?" Kyuubi said
"Yes…maybe next time…" Malak said as his voice faded away and disappeared.
"Alright Kyuubi-chan…As much as I don't want to do this, I guess we have to separate." Naruto said.
"Yeah…I'm thinking of something that you can remember me by." Kyuubi said looking at Naruto. "I got one! I know when people miss each other they would kiss or something!"
"Really? I don't know how to though…" Naruto said.
Kyuubi then just went up to Naruto and kissed him on the lips before they both blushed a little.
"Well, that's a kiss." Kyuubi said.
"How do you know about those things?" Naruto asked.
"Umm…I just do, yeah I just do!" Kyuubi said blushing a little more from what he had said. "Ok, I guess we should be off now, bye Naruto-kun!"
"Bye Kyuubi-chan! I expect you to better watch out for yourself! Since Tsunadeneesan told us to watch each other's back, we must do it by spirit then." Naruto said.
"Yes, I hope you become much stronger next time I meet you too!" Kyuubi said as she headed towards the barren lands. Naruto also had his way as he moved on to the city of the demons.
3 years later—
"Dang! Now that was tiring…how the hell do demons learn to do things like that…Well I can do it too, but it seems impossible still…" Kyuubi said as she finally finished her training throughout the barren land as she did what she remembered what she was told to and moved back to where they had once began.
Kyuubi over time lost all other clothing she had once had because she grew out of them quite quickly. Now she usually wears her own created clothing made of demonic fur. It was mostly like a mini t-shirt as she wore long pants. She also had long red hair which reached down to her back. She usually tied it in a pony-tail so it doesn't get in the way all the time.
As she walked towards the place where the two of them started, she noticed another boy there as well. She had quickly gazed at him before realizing who he was. He had blond spiky hair. He also had a dark red tunic on as well with shorts that went along as well. Other then that, he wore sunglasses.
Kyuubi, after a couple moments of looking at him, finally realized that it was Naruto stealthily moved behind him before charging and tackling him down with a hug. Once tackled, Naruto eyebrows raised as he saw some random lady tackle him down before knowing who he was.
"Excuse me, do you know me?" Naruto asked clueless to the fact that it was Kyuubi.
"Well, duh I know you, maybe this can remind you!" Kyuubi said as she kissed him again on the lips just like before they left each other.
"Kyuubi-chan…?" Naruto said as he looked at her.
"The one and only Naruto-kun!" Kyuubi said. "Soo…what did you learn on you journey?"
"Nothing much, you'll see when the time comes." Naruto said grinning as he Kyuubi's interest and curiosity rose.
"Awww…common…I'm curious!" Kyuubi whined.
"Were 14 and your still acting childish" Naruto said chuckling.
"Well, we're still only teenagers!" Kyuubi said. "I can act smart whenever I want, it's just that I missed you…"
"Yeah…it wasn't as much fun, it was pretty lonely without you…" Naruto said. "Are you finally ready to head back…or did you forget how to use the jutsu…"
"Of course I remember, shouldn't we wait for that…spirit person?" Kyuubi asked.
"Why should we, he never said we had to." Naruto said.
"Yeah, I guess you right there…" Kyuubi said. "So I guess, lets get back to the land we love!"
DEMON GATES OF HELL
The gates had opened once more as they were allowed to leave again. The air was so fresh to them unlike the air they once had to endure within the demon realm. The clean air also smelled nicer as well.
"Finally! Out of that stupid place." Naruto yelled out.
"You telling me, it was so boring, only thing fun thing I got to do was train!" Kyuubi said.
"First stop, KONOHA!" Naruto said jumping in the air.
The Gates of Konoha were quite large as they first saw it, but now compared to the demons they had seen before, it was now fairly small in their eyes. They then approached the sentry as they needed to get past. Naruto then whispered to Kyuubi to watch his skills as he talked.
"Who are you two travelers?" sentry said.
"We are but travelers seeking to find a person we promised to see again." Naruto said.
"For who are these people you are seeking to find?"
"A person to be quite known here by many, they should be around here unless they had quite important errands to do. I do not believe that it should be trouble as to allow two simple travelers past here. Since Konoha is such a powerful village, it should have no trouble fending out two measly people even if we were to be spies."
"Before I allow entrance, give me your name and the accomplice's name."
"My name shall be said and so will my friends once we have our talk with the village hokage, if we may at least, it should do no harm as to give us an escort as well."
"Alright, this jounin shall lead you to our hokage."
"thank you"
"Smooth talking Naruto-kun, when did you learn to speak in such a manner?" Kyuubi whispered to Naruto.
"That is what happens when you are to live with demons in a city, you must learn to talk back in such a manner where they will not pick a fight and agree to your cause. You also must not be forceful as well. Too bad some demons don't speak my language…you must talk with your fist." Naruto whispered back.
The jounin then lead them to the Hokage's office where they were going to speak to him in personally. As they reached the office, the jounin talked to the chuunins defending the doors leading to him as they allowed passage through. As they saw the hokage, he was currently sitting down gazing at the clouds as they passed by.
"Hello…you may leave now." He said as he motioned to the jounin to leave. As soon as the jounin left he finally got down to the subject. "I have heard from Jiraiya and Tsunade that you have traveled to the world of the youma. I expect you to have grown considerably strong throughout your training."
"Yes, I believe we have grown stronger, we may tell you the story another time, but as for now I am wondering where our neesan and the pervert is." Naruto said.
"Jiraiya is currently off to wave country checking out progress as he is probably still doing his information gathering. Tsunade however disappeared along with Shizune as they decided to travel, and until they met you two again did they say they would finally return back to Konoha." Sarutobi said.
"Should we go find them now?" Kyuubi asked.
"No, but for now, maybe we should give you the genin exam and employ you as a genin. As you know, there will be the chuunin exams soon, I believe there would not be enough genins, so you two will just have to participate together." Sarutobi said. "Some of the children of your age have become chuunins, the only ones who haven't succeeded yet are Inuzuka Kiba, Uchiha Sasuke, Haruno Sakura, Hyuuga Hinata, Yaminaka Ino, and Chouji."
So…then what should we do now for the time being?" Naruto said.
"How about we take you to the academy as we speak of it?" Sarutobi said.
"Sounds good to me, how about you Kyuubi-chan?" Naruto said.
"Hmm? Oh, yeah…sure." Kyuubi said.
The three of them then walked of to the academy as they were planning to take the genin test which happened every 2 weeks. It was so that when kids were ready, they could take it whenever and not stop them from their growth, Konoha also had many jounin as well to spare who had too much free time these days.
"Ok class, in 3 days…we're going to have another genin test, who is planning on taking it?"
"Me Iruka-sensei." Said some of the kids of different ages from the academy.
"Alright, I guess that is all, now turn your books to page 78 where we will now discuss common mathematics. These are important so you don't waste any energy when in a dire situation." Iruka said as the 3rd Hokage walked in the door. "Ah, hello Hokage-sama, how are you on this fine day? As you can see we are doing quite well as we review on our mathematics."
"That is great, for the children of Konoha are our future, I have come to bring two new students for you. Come in Naruto and Kyuubi…These two will enter the genin exams in 3 days now." Sarutobi said.
As Naruto and Kyuubi walked in, they clearly saw they were older then every single student there and they also were taller as well.
"Ah, so you must be Naruto and Kyuubi, please introduce yourself to the class." Iruka said. Those two must be the reincarnation of the Kyuubi…I truly wonder if they are just like that demon. I guess I will see when the time comes…
"I will start first, my name is Uzumaki Naruto and I am 14 years old. Please to meet you and we are glad to be in Konoha." Naruto said.
"My name is Kyuubi and I am also 14 years old, for my last name though you can say it is Uzumaki. It is not my true last name by what I know, but you may say that. I too am glad to meet all of you, just don't be to annoying around us and ask questions." Kyuubi said.
"Alright, now that you two are done, do any in the class have any questions?" Iruka said.
"Yeah, you two are old! My brother's already a chuunin and he is the same age as you!" a girl said.
"And who might you be? I am sorry but we have arrived and never taken a genin test before, and for that we never got a rank yet." Naruto said.
"I'm Hyuuga Hanabi! The daughter and next in line heir to the Hyuugas!" Hanabi said with pride and honor.
"Stop bragging" Kyuubi said as Hanabi got pissed.
"What did you say?"
"I said…stop bragging."
"I am the next in line heir, who do you think you're talking to?"
"A whiney little spoiled brat…"
"You—"Hanabi said.
"Enough, enough with the questions, I can see some of us go on a bad start, but let's just get back to our class alright?" Iruka said.
The two of them agreed to this before Naruto was able to get Kyuubi to go sit down and listen to the lecture that Iruka was now doing.
"Ok, I am now wondering, how much math do you know?" Iruka said.
"I don't really know what you are talking about…I never had the need to learn it before." Naruto said as the kids in the class started to laugh at him because they didn't even know how to do simple things like mathematics.
"Kids, quiet down now, I SAID QUIET DOWN!" Iruka said clearly pissed off.
All of the students then went to silent mode as they knew it wasn't good to get a teacher pissed off, especially when they are a chuunin and they weren't even part of a ninja rank yet. From there on, Naruto and Kyuubi endured every single bit of boring information until the end of the third day when they were finally allowed to take the genin test. They had to endure things from the simple properties of chakra all the way to the history of the false death of the Kyuubi.
The 3rd and final day being the genin test—
"Ok, I know some of you were waiting for this day, and now it is here. Ok, first up is Shigeru, come on up to the next room now." Iruka said.
10 minutes passed as his face looked down as he failed.
"Next, Naruto"
"Go Naruto-kun!" Kyuubi said.
"Don't need luck, I have pure skill." Naruto said.
In the next room was just empty as Iruka started his tests.
"Now, perform a buushin, it must be a perfect one. Next is accuracy, hit at least one circle out of the bulls eye circle and you pass. Last of all is your henge, you need henge for all good stealth stradegies." Iruka said. I guess I shouldn't press on the part about demons, I'm not like those villagers…I do not hold vengeance for revenge only brings more revenge…yes…
Naruto then created one buushin as he threw an off accurate shot of a kunai hitting the outer ring of the bulls eye. He then finished it off by doing a henge creating an image of Iruka. After completing that he passed, they then went back to finish up the rest of the students.
"Next, Kyuubi" Iruka said as she went back to the same place Naruto had and did the same things.
Unlike Naruto though, she did every test with perfect first try. She was quite more well out then Naruto at that point during the test. After many more students who tried, Iruka named out the ones who had passed to become a genin and the teams.
"Ok, the students who have passed the genin exam are…Naruto, Kyuubi, Kyoshi, Yoshiko, and Hakai. The rest of you may leave as I must discuss matters with these newly genin as they receive their forehead protectors." Iruka said. It looks like it us just as you though Hokage-sama, one team of three and another team of two. I guess I will do as you say and put them both on the same…I hope this is the right thing to do.
Author notes- Wonder why I never added the scenes during the so called years while they were within the world? Well, I'm not going to tell you anyway haha. The next time I update and until then or sometime or another there will be a time where I will finally explain that. Hanabi's also a spoiled little brat in this fanfic, at least currently. I don't think she is that loud or bratty in the manga though. Thanks for reading and R and R!
