Let's answer the reviews!
MassReader: Don't worry. Kyuubi will be evil as well. In this fic I'll answer a question, though, that is made very often…
Kitsurumenokitsune: If you read well the Volume 13 you'll see that the Sandaime said that the Shinigami can be seen only by the user and by the enemy hit by the technique.
The puzzle pieces placed themselves at the right places, and a name suddenly popped up.
"… Naruto… Then… You…"
"I want you to find out how your Yondaime disposed of Kyuubi."
It's the duty of a ninja!
Chapter13: Mister Kokugan
This time the girls and the four ninjas had a pic-nic on the hill behind the mansion. They were all eating on the grass. Neji was having problem with a horse taken by Yukiko, and Shikamaru was trying different pairs of earring taken by Mayumi, and while Kaori was feeding Naruto like a baby, Mayumi was talking with Sasuke behind a tree.
"So… You discovered something?"
"… Actually, I discovered all. I know exactly what has been of Kyuubi, and where it is now."
"Really!"
"… But first, I want to know why you want to discover this."
"… Our agreement wasn't like this."
"I'm sorry, but I need to know."
"…"
The two boys stared at each other in silence, for at least a minute, without even moving. Then, Mayumi decided to confess.
"… My father has something to do with Kyuubi."
"!"
"I don't know what exactly… But more important, Kyuubi has also something to do with our mothers as well. We didn't ever know who they were…"
"… How do you know that your family has something to do with Kyuubi?"
"… In our library there's a drawing on the ceiling. It's the Kyuubi ravaging your village. But more important, the eyes of Kyuubi… In the eyes of Kyuubi there are the faces of my mother and my father. That's strange, right?"
"… Ok. I told you the information. Well, Kyuubi was impossible to kill, even for Yondaime. But not impossible to defeat. Instead of killing it, Yondaime sealed it."
"Sealed it? Where?"
"… Not where, but in who."
"! You mean… He sealed it…"
"In a new born baby, who was born that same night, using a technique that, I suppose, killed him in the process."
"… And who is this person? Who has to carry this enormous burden?"
"I say you this. Naruto's birthday is the tenth of November."
"!"
"Now, it's up to you. Thanks for the diary."
Sasuke walked away. Mayumi was still in shock. The boy… That cheerful boy… That happiness face… Was carrying probably the biggest burden and danger to this world? Mayumi looked at Naruto, who was now smoking from the ears and erupting flames from the mouth because the food cooked by Kaori was too spicy. That boy… Those whisker-marks… That mask… Was it only a mask, after all? Mayumi walked to him to talk to him about that matter. Naruto has been saved by the pool, and was now "phewing" in relief.
"Naruto-san…"
"Uh? Mayumi-chan."
"… Can I talk to you? It's important…"
"… Of course."
Naruto followed Mayumi inside the park, and into the labyrinth garden. Well, labyrinth only named. It was only an intricate garden with wall of bushes. Mayumi stopped, and looked at Naruto, a sad look on her face. Naruto immediately got worried.
"… Mayumi-chan, what's…"
"I know about the Kyuubi…"
"!"
"I'm… I'm not scared of you, first thing. Don't even think about it."
"… Then, what?"
"I'm… It's only that… I'm sorry…"
"… Sorry?"
"I… I want to know something from Kyuubi. That's why I've been searching for it. And that's why I faked to want a Konoha ninja as fiancé. I wanted information… Because it has something to do with my family…"
"… Then… Our friendship… Even your sisters… Was it all a fake from the beginning?"
"No! That's not that! I'm sorry for not telling you! I'm sorry for not making you aware of this! In the beginning, yes, all was a fake, but now… Now…"
"Now?"
Mayumi looked at the floor and tears started to flow from her face. The she looked at Naruto again, who had on a look as inexpressive as Itachi Uchiha.
"I love you…"
"What?"
"I… I love you Naruto-san… I've fallen for you from that time, at the Heaven Tower…"
Flashback
Suddenly, Naruto embraced warmly Mayumi. The girl blushed at the feeling of the masculine body of Naruto and of his body warmth… Then, she embraced back him, closing her eyes, just in time.
'What's happening! Why I'm feeling like this! My cheeks are so hot…'
End of the flashback
Mayumi had completely broken out, and tears were flowing like rivers from her eyes. Naruto was still inexpressive.
"But… But I understand if you don't want to see me ever again, Naruto-san… But… But I just wanted to tell you… To tell you…"
Naruto, with still the inexpressive look on his face, started walking towards Mayumi. Then he raised a hand. Mayumi closed her eyes, waiting for the slap to come, but… It never came. Instead, she felt a hand on her head, and an arm embracing her end pulling her closer to Naruto's chest. Naruto was not slapping her… He was embracing her.
"Stupid… How could I hate you for something like that?"
"Na-Naruto-san…"
"You couldn't know… And if you wanted to know something about Kyuubi, you should've asked…"
"You… You're not mad at me… My family and the Kyuubi…"
"How could I? And to tell you the truth…"
"Eh?"
"I… I…"
Naruto was now blushing hard, trying to say something that couldn't flow out of his mouth. Mayumi stared at him blushing as well, and in the meanwhile he approached Naruto's lips, closing her teary eyes, and so did Naruto, ready to kiss… Then they heard footsteps. They turned, and Mayumi became pale. In front of them stood a man about thirty years old. He was wearing a white dress, with black sunglasses, and had long black hair tied into a ponytail.
"Mayumi, Mayumi… You have sure a large mouth… I just returned from work, and what I found?"
"Fa… Father…"
"Father? You mean… This is your dad?"
"I told you I don't know how many times to not tell anyone about our family and the Kyuubi… You remember what happened to your friends? To your private teacher?"
"! Naruto-san! Run!"
"What the… !"
Suddenly the man was in front of Naruto, and punched him hard into the stomach. From the point of connection exploded a green thunder, and Naruto felt like all his cells destroying one after another, and fuming like he was being burned, he collapsed to the floor.
"Naruto-san! No!"
"Remember this, Mayumi. That's your entire fault. Now, we should think about a punishment for you…"
"No! Naruto-san!"
Mister Kokugan began to drag away Mayumi, who was crying and screaming Naruto's name. Suddenly, Mister Kokugan stopped. He was feeling a strange chakra. An enormous, powerful chakra. And he knew well that chakra. He turned around and saw a red tornado of chakra enveloping the body of the blond, who stood newly up, without a scar on his body. The chakra suddenly began to concentrate into a shape. Soon the boy was envelope by a fox shape, and his eyes where like slits, and his whiskers more deep.
"Mayumi-chan… Now I understand why you hate your father…"
'This… This chakra…'
"Naruto… Naruto-san…"
"WHAT KIND OF FATHER DOES ANY HARM TO HER OWN DAUGHTER!"
Naruto rushed at mister Kokugan. With his chakra pawn hit him, and grabbed him. Then he began to crush him several times into the ground. More, more and more. After he saw blood coming out from his body, bone crushed and flesh burned by the chakra, Naruto jumped into the air. He released the grip on mister Kokugan, and then punched him with pawns and tail. Mister Kokugan crushed into the ground hard, crumbling it. Smoke covered the crater. Mayumi stood in awe at him, while Naruto returned to his normal self.
'So… This is the power of Kyuubi… Terrifying…'
"Mayumi-san… It's all finished…"
"No. It has not even started… Hahahaha… Hahahahahaha!"
"!"
"!"
Mister Kokugan stood up from the crater, as new. His clothes ripped and burned, but he was only covered in dirt. And he was laughing like mad.
"I can't believe it… After fourteen years… I'll be finally able to do it again…"
"How can you be still alive?"
"Let's say that you're not the only one who can use a special kind of chakra, Naruto-san… Now, please…"
"!"
Suddenly Naruto felt something into his arm. Mayumi felt it as well. Mister Kokugan had just launched two needles at them. In thirty seconds, they were both asleep, and Mister Kokugan was laughing even harder.
"Uhuhuhuh… Uhuhuhuh… Ahhhhahahahahah! Ahahahahahah!"
