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 kitsune had two separate forms in which were spiritually linked, if one were to die, the other would as well.

I've always wondered too…who really reads the author notes?
As for the long update…just read above and that basically solves all your answers and needs…
Chapter 10: The…Chuunin…Exams!
Naruto and Kyuubi were training in an empty training ground for the incoming chuunin exams which were in a week from today. Naruto was mostly meditating focusing his charka between his palms into a small sphere in front of him. It was pure charka, not dangerous or anything, just gathering a small amount of charka and exerting it to a place in front of him and keeping it in place and as an amount just right before it decapitates. (If any of you are wondering, this is not like the Rasengan, the rasengan is formed by swirling charka as you contain it in your palm. This is charka that he's holding within his hands, it's more like trying to sustain a basketball on your finger to what he is doing. If the basketball falls off, it's like the charka drifting away.)
Kyuubi however, was going through ever handseal she knew in the order of every jutsu. Just because one knows how to do the jutsu after a while does not mean one does not forget a handseal sometimes. If one relies on one jutsu for too long, he/she is able to perform the jutsu without handseals, but the cost may be to forget some of the handseals for other jutsus they had learned beforehand. If they forget even one handseal within a jutsu, the jutsu will not come out right and may inflict self-pain.
After maybe an hour of practicing for Kyuubi, she decided to start practicing her jutsus as Naruto continued to practice controlling his charka within his palms. As Kyuubi practices each jutsu, usually only once for each of her most successful jutsus and kept continuing for those that she had messed up on. Her rule in training was that is you fail to do it once, do it two times more. If she messed up five times, then she should practice until she can continuously do the same thing ten times.
Sooner or later when she was done, she would start performing the movements for her taijutsu as well. When forming any taijutsu, it is never perfect, yet it was not horrible either. She continued practicing the same things again and again until she thought up of something to add on to what she was doing. That was how she created her own hybrid of the demonic style she learned in the demon world.
Naruto though just kept on going with what he was doing. Maintaining his charka at a weak level and continuing for an extreme amount of time was taxing on him. Having done nothing made him anxious to just move or do something, but it would mess him u during his training. If he started to fidget, his ball of charka would show it as it with spike up in the rise of charka. If he ever was growing more tired, the ball of charka will dim as he starts to run out. In any case, this training was to increase his patience, charka control, charka reserves, and really helps to calm his mind down when angry.
They continued doing this for most of the time until the exams had come around. The day when they had to go against others to become a chuunin, and also a day that they had been training for.
"Naruto-kun, let's go already! I'm already anxious as it is to get to that chuunin exams!" Kyuubi said as she was jumping up and down as if she was charged with sugar pills.
"No need for rushing…just enjoy the ramen…enjoooooooy the ramen…" Naruto said as he purposely was eating slowly and making those faces as if the ramen was so good it was sacred.
"NARUTO-KUN! Don't be so mean" Kyuubi as she latched on to his arm pleading for him to finally go.
"Kyuubi-chan…you do know that it's still 6 hours until the chuunin exams begin right?" Naruto said.
"But still…" Kyuubi said.
"I guess we could go a little early…" Naruto said
'Then again…6 hours is not early…who leaves somewhere 6 hours early anyway?...apparently Kyuubi, that's who.'
"Thanks Naruto-kun!" Kyuubi said as she gave him a peck on the cheek.
"W-w-what was that for?" Naruto said blushing red.
"For coming with me even though it's 6 hours too early." Kyuubi said.
"No problem…You still remember our plan for Jiraiya right?" Naruto asked.
"Of course, I got everything set and ready to go." Kyuubi smirked.
"All right, this is going to be great" Naruto said.
As they approached the area of where they were going to the chuunin exams, it wasn't too much at all. It was just on the Hokage monument at the Shidaime's head. It had a really pretty view of the sun rise as it came up. After just watching it come up, they both decided it was a good time to find Jiraiya. The chuunin exams were still coming up in 4 hours. They had just wanted to see the nice view there before they had to start their chuunin exams.
Of course, the place where Jiraiya was was none other then…THE HOT SPRINGS. He is just continuing what he left off on as Naruto and Kyuubi crept up on him. Originally, he should have sensed them coming, but being in a trance state, he misses the most obvious of things pretty easily.
"Oh…Jiraiya…." Kyuubi said with that evil glint in her eye.
As Jiraiya looked back and saw those eyes, only few words could come off of his mouth. Nothing good can come out when they said his name, Ero-sannin usually meant regular conversations. But now…whenever they say his name, it could either mean something evil is about to be done and he can't do anything to stop it, or something serious is happening. Of course he hoped it wasn't any of them, but he knew it was one of them. Exactly when he looked a little longer…
"Oh…shit…" Jiraiya said as his back was against the wall covering his private peeping hole.
"Oh…Jiraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaiya…..hehehee…." Kyuubi said with the evil glint still in her eyes.
"…" Jiraiya was already frozen in a state where he knew his life was going to end soon.
"Ero-sannin…We didn't exactly like what you did yesterday you know…" Naruto said.
"Yeah…that's…why…were…going…to……" Kyuubi started.
"…please don't hurt me…" Jiraiya already giving up his pride going into a state where he was begging for forgiveness for something that was either going to or not going to happen.
"That's…why…we're...going…to…give you this free pass to the hot springs in Mt. Hitomasa!" Kyuubi said happily as she gave it to Jiraiya.
"…" Jiraiya was still in shock apparently as it happened, nothing like this ever happens. Suddenly, a perverted grin was smacked upon his face.
"Hoo…hoo! Guess you finally understand the importance of my research! Hehehe…thanks. Anyways, you should head on over to your chuunin exams, their about to start in an hour." Jiraiya said with his perverted grin quite apparent as he left as soon as Kyuubi and Naruto was not in sight anymore.
"ne…Kyuubi-chan, are you sure this is the right thing to do?" Naruto asked.
"I really think he deserves this for all he's done for us after all. We don't get trained by a legendary sannin everyday you know." Kyuubi said.
"I guess your right, let's start heading towards the chuunin exam site." Naruto said.
"Yep, let's kick some ass Naruto-kun!" Kyuubi said as she was already hyper from the things to come.
"Heh…This is going to be fun." Naruto said.
With things done, they both headed back to where the Chuunin exams were. Apparently both of them were feeling a little lazy so they took the hidden stairs no one knew about up to the top. However, even though they knew about it, the other ninjas were still trying to climb the hokage monument.
It was quite a challenging task for them since chuunins were blocking their path a lot since they were trying to climb the monument. It wasn't because of they were trying to block people from entering the chuunin exams…They just didn't anyone defacing the monument by climbing it with their feet. So when many chuunins and jounins saw massive amounts of different jounins climbing up it, they made it their duty to prevent them from climbing it up that way. What they never understood though was why the genins didn't just use the staircase…That part would remain a mystery within their part.
In the end, the only people who got all the way up to the hokage monument were of a total of 18. Only 8 teams were actually able to make it pass all of the chuunins and jounins blocking the path upwards. The genins usually just used the other genins as decoys as they increased their speed in order to pass the others as fast as they could. This made there no way the guards could block them without letting other genins pass as well.
As Kyuubi and Naruto waited, the people that had gotten all the way to the top of the mountain where mostly people they never knew. The only other konoha genin team that arrived surprisingly was two pairs consisting of Hyuuga Hinata and Haruno Sakura, and Yamanaka Ino, and Akimichi Chouji.
"Wow, there are other konoha genins to make it instead of us!" Ino said. "You know who they are? Cause I don't have a clue."
"Seem new to me…never saw them climb with us though. Wonder if they waited here for hours or something." Sakura said. "But still, I can't believe Sasuke-kun never made it!"
"Ano…Sasuke-san spent his time fighting of the other ninjas along with Kiba-san." Hinata said.
"Hiya, my names Naruto and this is Kyuubi-chan, please to meet you people." Naruto said as he walked up to them. "I saw you were konoha genin, so I wanted to meet up with all of you to get to know each other."
"I'm Haruno Sakura, the blond girls Ino-pig…, the girl with the white eyes is Hyuuga Hinata, and the pleasantly plump boy over there eating the bag of chips is Chouji." Sakura said.
"Pleased to meet you..Naruto…-kun…Pleased to meet you too Kyuubi-san" Hinata said. 'Have I seen Naruto-kun before…I'm not sure about Kyuubi, but I know I've seen Naruto-kun before…'
"Was there any others trying to get all the way up here?" Kyuubi asked.
"Yeah…Sasuke-kun and Kiba were trying to get up here but havn't gotten up yet, I hope they make it…" Ino said.
"Of course they'll make it! Sasuke-kun's the number one genin around here! There's no doubt that he'll ma—" Sakura said only to be interrupted by a poof of smoke.
"Greetings, I am known as Mizuki. To those who have made it to the first round of the chuunin exams, to those who have made it, please select a representative of your teams to come and select a lottery number right here. Once you are done, I will explain exactly what is happening and what you are to do in the first exams." Mizuki said.
Meanwhile at the hot springs resorts with Jiraiya…(I know you people been waiting for what happened with him)
"hoo hoo…This is going to be great. I can't believe Kyuubi and Naruto actually did this for me. First time ever actually…oh well, nothing to be suspicious of anyway." Jiraiya said as he entered.
When entering he saw a young pretty lady at the desk asking people to sign up where they were going. Jiraiya then floated all the way over to the young lady as he passed the ticket right to her.
"Ah, you must be our guest who wishes to take in the experience of nice experiences." The young lady said. "That is you right?"
"Of course! That is me; I can say nothing else…" Jiraiya said with a perverted grin smacked on.
"Of course of course, if you may please step this way to this area and make yourself comfy until the girls arrive." The young lady said as she then left.
"This is great…this is great…THIS IS GREAT!" Jiraiya said as he got his notebook out for every girl that comes out.
Suddenly, he hears female voices coming and he got ready for every lady that comes. Once he sees them, he froze exactly where he was. He knew something was wrong.
"I was asked to give this to you when you got here…"
A lady gave a letter to Jiraiya which he immediately opened up to find a message to him which he dreaded.
Dear Jiraiya,
I hope you are enjoying your stay at this resort as this cost us a lot of our money. We did this just for you and you are to stay for a week there. Don't worry as all of the cost was paid. We think that this is just your style as well. You should really start seeing people your own age, pretty girls like me shouldn't have to get in your way, and we shouldn't stop you from seeing nice skin like them. Enjoy!
From,
Kyuubi and Naruto!
"Hey pretty boy…"
All that was left was the echo of Kyuubi's and Naruto's name from a mountain far far away. He was stuck there…nowhere to get out, trapped.
