Authors note: well here's the next chapter, back again. Prepare for some real intense shit y'all because it's about to get real. So I hope you guys are ready to get your dick's sucked and your pussies blown out because this is going to be one crazy chapter so enjoy the fuck out of it.
The two were sound asleep in the hotel room. The older man on the bed, stretched out and reaking of saki. He obviously had a late night, but thankfully came back to the room alone and with no one on his side. The other man would not have slept if this had happened.. Again, the other man, even though wise in his years was in the body of a boy. But that's because he's a time traveler, he was here to fix things and so now he had to relive his life. He is unaware of how he got here, back to this time the last thing he remembered was two men in red and black outfits catching him by surprise. Everything went black shortly after they showed up and now here he was. Back in a time that made no sense, but one thing he knew is that he was strong. Stronger than before, and his friend was helping him become stronger than ever before. Saiken would make sure his host wasn't as weak as last time, that was because the beast didn't want to live through what happened… to be subjected to Madara Uchiha again. He would never allow that, so for now he helped train his host, they got lucky meeting the boys uncle in their travels. So now he had family, something to hold on to. Saiken decided to jolt the boy with his chakra.
"Boy wake up, it is time for us to train" Saiken's voice boomed and was loud enough to wake the boy. The boy was already partially awake from the chakra but the loud voice in his head never ceased to wake him. "I know we trained long yesterday but we are nowhere near strong enough to survive in this world. You have made a lot of progress but now you need to start working with my chakra, it's time."
Utakata's eyes widened, "Are you sure? I may be 16, but this feels to soon, are you sure I can handle it?" Utakata had his worries, after being driven out of his village he had no one until the beast made contact with him. They became friends, and then he found his uncle, a man he thought dead for years alive and well living in a farm alone. The man joined him and helped him train. Life has been good but he remembered the cold harsh feeling of being dead, and he didn't want to live that again. He also wanted to find that blond boy, Naruto Uzumaki. He held the Kyuubi, and if anyone had answers it might be him. Plus that boy is the only one he knows that is like him.
"Yes I am sure you have come a long way, but now the real training begins. I will work with you on this, but it won't be easy to tame my chakra."
"I understand, how about your searching? Have you found Naruto yet? Or at least felt his bijuu's chakra? We need answers we've been at this for too long to not know anything or have even ran into any other jinchuuriki. I'm worried about that we need to get answers" The worry in Utakata's voice was always present, he hated that they've been back for years now and nothing has changed. He was still lost and had no answers.
"I will keep searching, but for now nothing. Don't worry, when it's time we will locate others so for now just focus on your training, ok?" Saiken hated seeing his friend in distress, the bijuu had met Naruto personally, when he and all the other bijuu came together to discuss Naruto being their fathers reincarnate. Naruto made every single last Bijuu, all of Saiken's brothers and sisters believe in the boy. So he wanted to get ahold of Kurama and get answers for what happened. Kurama was the 9 tails for a reason, he was the strongest, no doubt, so hopefully their eldest brother had the answers for what all is going on in this world. If Saiken had to guess, it was that someone used their fathers forbidden time space ninjutsu to reset events. But who could pull this off was beyond him.
"Ukataka are you *burp* awake?" Ukataka's uncle awake to the boys loudness in getting dressed for the day.
"Yes uncle, go back to bed I'm gonna go train for a couple hours outside the village. No drinking tonight either, we leave in the morning, we still have a long way to go before we reach the leaf village." Ukataka had decided in not telling his uncle what was going on, instead made the man believe he wanted a new life in the big village.
"Be safe boy, we don't know the people here and they certainly don't know us"
"I will" With that Ukataka walked outside ready to begin training.
Elsewhere…
"So Ero-sennin, what should we do next for training?" Naruto was giddy, they've been gone for about 4 weeks now and he's already picked up about 4 fire jutsu's. Jiraiya has been training the boy for once and he feels like he's learning a lot. Now when he fights he doesn't feel like he's limited to certain ninjutsu but can actually do something.
"Jeez kid calm down, today we're just gonna relax, head into town, gamble a little, eat some good food. Today's our day off." Jiraiya said without a care in the world.
"No." Naruto sounded upset, "We can't afford to slack off, I'm starting to get really strong, I can't just stop we have to keep going or else.." Naruto stopped talking for a second "I just.. I don't want what happened to happen again, I can't lose you and everyone else all over again I have to get stronger to protect everyone!"
Naruto was known for being the strong one. He took everything on and never broke, but for some reason ever since he came home something about him has been off. He's not sure if it's because he's scared or if it's being reunited with his old friends and family, but he's been more emotional. For some reason he can't hold out as well, he keeps breaking down. He's trying his hardest to be strong, but he keeps getting weak and he doesn't know what else he could do. He doesn't want to seem like some sort of baby, but he can't help it, he just keeps getting overemotional.
Arashi gave Jiraya a look, the man nodded his head at the man telling him not to say anything, "Naruto I understand how important this is to you. But listen, you need to enjoy life too, even though I know you've got this, we've all been training not just you. You need to rest and have some fun, you can't tell me you haven't taken a day off before. Everyone does, so just relax because I promise things will get better. We still have time, so don't worry too much" Jiraiya put his hand on Naruto's shoulder as he said all this trying to get the boy to listen to him. He knew that the boy was going through a lot, but he didn't realize that Naruto was actually this scared. He always saw Naruto as a strong individual because he refuses to give up and is acting tough. He didn't stop to consider that the boy was still just a boy. Whether he comes from the future or not, he's still a child and children get scared.
"I can't lose everyone again Jiraiya… I almost quit last time, I don't want to get to that point again." Naruto didn't want to talk about this, but with Jiraiya he couldn't not be honest with him.
"I understand Naruto, but if you don't stop to enjoy life than you'll have more regrets, yes you've lived through this all before but those memories don't matter. You need to make new ones, make new connections with people you already know, they don't have the same memories or connections that you do. So enjoy life, get strong all you want but take a day off"
Naruto sighed as he looked down from Jiraiya's gaze, "You're right.. I just hate feeling like I'm so weak. I've never been able to prevent pain just stop it from getting worse, I always show up to late, I want to be able to stop everything from happening before it happens."
"We both know that's impossible Naruto, you can be as strong as you want and people will still get hurt, that's just life. So for now take a day off because we aren't training today and that's final" Jiraiya took his hand off the boy and with Arashi next to him the two started to walk towards the next village.
"You fucking suck" Naruto said before groaning out loud and following the two, "Just know if you take any of my savings Jiraiya and I will cut off your balls. I know how rich you are from your book series so don't even try to play me." Jiraiya laughed nervously at hearing this, but reverted to a smile. He didn't need the boy to overdue it, whether he was 13 or 32 he was still a boy to him, and he would beat his ass in a fight any day of the weak.
The trio walked into the village, Jiraiya and Naruto knew Tsunade wasn't there, but she was here a couple days ago so they were getting close. The three went into the first casino they saw, and Jiraiya instantly left for the blackjack table. Arashi wandered off to do his own thing, meanwhile Naruto went to the roulette table. He didn't know why but he was super good at gambling.
As Naruto approached the table, the man working the game went to say something until he saw the headband with the leaf symbol, "Minimum bet is 800 ryo" The man said, Naruto grinned. He had about 3,000 ryo on him still.
"I'll put 1,200 on 28 black" The odds of him winning were astronomical, and completely against him. The man let everyone else place their bets before rolling the ball. He was starstruck to see it land exactly on 28 black. Naruto though was happy he brought an extra scroll to fill with whatever he was going to need it for all this money he was going to win.
Arashi wandered around the building, Uzumaki's weren't known for gambling much, they had no need for it so this place was a bit foreign to him. He knew some games just from playing with friends, and watching others but he was a bit confused at what to do. Finally he sat down at a random table, it was poker. He was familiar with this game he played for fun with some ninja, they taught him how to play back in the village and how to cheat with chakra. He was good but not that good. The minimum bet was only 200 ryo though, so he figured he'd try a hand.
People kept raising the bet, he wasn't sure if to be nervous or not, it started at 200, but now was almost at 4,000 ryo. His cards were pretty good, he had a full house, but he didn't know if that was good enough. He matched the bet though, not wanting to seem weak. "Alright everyone let's see what you have" one by one everyone put their hands down, it was clear Arashi won by a longshot. He collected his money and decided he would stay for a bit to see how long his luck would last. He didn't know this, but the Uzumaki had lucky blood when it came to gambling, he was about to learn why he should never gamble though. Arashi wasn't aware but he was going to make a lot of enemies by the end of the day.
Jiraiya was the same as ever, the minute he saw a hot women he skipped on gambling and started drinking. Once he found out she was a prostitute he took out his cheek book and ended up being in the back of the casino for most of the day with a lot of beautiful women. He didn't win any money but instead lost a lot of it. How could he not he loves being with beautiful women, no matter the cost. By the end of the day all three shinobi won a lot, Naruto and Arashi won money but lost any chances of making friends. Jiraiya won by being with lots of women, but lost a good chunk of his bank account. The three never ended up linking up again until way late in the night, with two of the three being a lot richer than before, and also banned from said casino.
Naruto found Jiraiya piss drunk outside the casino trying to buy more girls, the boy quickly pulled the man away before he could lose anymore money. Naruto made a shadow clone to search the village for Arashi while he went to a hotel that was near the casino. "Jiraiya you have a real problem, so from now on no more money for you" with that being said Naruto took Jiraiya's checkbook and burned it. The man was so intoxicated that he didn't even notice. Naruto searched the man for any other money he may have had and added it to his own winnings from the day, granted Naruto had enough money to never work again, he felt the old geezer owed him. Naruto tossed the man onto the couch once they finally got a room. The man was pretty damn heavy, so it was nice getting him off his shoulders. Naruto walked into the interior room and kicked his shoes off and lied onto the bed. Man Jiraiya was right, today was a good day, I actually had a lot of fun.
"Well sometimes it helps to take a day off its good to you know" Kurama couldn't help but comment in he had been watching the boy meticulously. He knew there wasn't much he could do this time around to help so he watched. Piped in here and there but like last time kept to himself.
"You're right, I don't know with Orochimaru showing up I realized I goofed off too much and I need to be more serious, I should have destroyed everyone in the chunin finals, and yet that one boy, Obi he almost beat me. Granted he wasn't genin level he was exceptionally strong, I don't know why he wasn't around last time but still. I'm easily as strong as low level jounin, but that's not good enough. Kakashi, Gai, Asuma and anyone else worth a damn could easily beat me in a serious battle. I'm not where I should be." Naruto knew this self doubt shouldn't be there he was stronger than he let on, but unless he could beat everyone he didn't think he was good enough.
The two sat in silence for a moment, Naruto started to fall asleep and then he felt it and he jumped to his feet. "Kit you felt that didn't you?"
"Yes, but who was it? I don't recognize the chakra anywhere. Something serious must be going on for another one of us to be pulling that much chakra. We have to go now" Naruto left a clone to leave a note as he jumped out the window and sprinted towards the source of the Bijuu chakra he felt.
"Be careful Naruto, that was Saiken's chakra, Saiken is the 6 tails. This might be Akatsuki so tread carefully" Kurama could do nothing more than warn his host. As much as he'd love to help this battle would be mostly Naruto, though with his last fight against Obi Kurama has been able to purge out almost all of the negative chakra so now Naruto can use his chakra more safely. But removing the seal will have to wait until he's ready to meet his father.
Naruto quickly shot out of the village, deactivating his weights to give him more speed. The chakra was easily a couple of miles outside the village they were in, so he had to be quick. The faster he ran the more chakra he felt coming out of the jinchuuriki, the boy or girl was pushing out a hell of a lot. He just hoped that they weren't in too much trouble and were just losing control that would be easier to handle. Naruto was running as hard as he could, worried about his brother/sister, since he saw all jinchuuriki as family he didn't want anything bad to happen to them.
Naruto was almost there when an explosion knocked him back, it was just a blast wave, but man was it powerful. "Taju Kage bunshin no jutsu" Naruto quickly made a couple hundred clones and they all broke off spreading out and charging forward. It didn't take long to realize that there was no enemy. All of a sudden the bijuu looked right at Naruto, 4 tails were out and the host was easily not in control.
"Give me Kurama" was all the beast said before charging straight at the main Naruto. Naruto's eyes widened at this, if he got hit it would hurt a hell of a lot, even he couldn't take the burns from another jinchuuriki. Naruto quickly made a massive rasengan and hit the bijuu with it before pulling out on his friend's chakra.
"You want my friend than you can have him" Naruto went into his psyche, Kurama, can I give you control? This isn't for me this is obviously for you and if this is how we calm him down it's what we have to do. Naruto proceeded to outstretch his fist through the metal bars, Kurama sighed, he didn't know what would happen so they might as well try. There fists met, and Naruto's body in the real world pretty much exploded into a ball of chakra and out immediately came 4 tails.
Kurama was now in control. "Kit it worked, I don't know how long we have so I'm going to approach him carefully, let's hope he doesn't want to fight."
The two bijuu, incomplete approached each other. Both hesitating waiting to see who would attack first. Neither knew what to say, it was finally Kurama who spoke. "Brother what are you doing. Why are you forcing out your chakra, do you remember nothing of what happened?"
"That's the thing big brother, I remember everything, I don't know what has happened to me. My host and I have been training for years because we both remember everything. Being dead, being enslaved all of that. We don't know how we're back here. We were training until I sensed your chakra, than I forced out more of my chakra flooding my hosts system and taking over. What is going on?!" Saiken was at a loss he just didn't know what to do anymore. His kind were supposed to be pretty much supreme, but he had no answers, he had nothing and it scared him. So he had nothing more to do but ask.
"I'm sorry, I thought our brother, Gukyi had found everyone by now he was supposed to. I knew Naruto and I should have done it personally, but we are on our own mission. Long story short, a lot happened in the future, and we had to restart everything. The Uchiha, Sasuke who enslaved us for his power after Madara was eventually killed by Naruto after the man came back for revenge. No one wanted to live in that timeline, so after talking with Gukyi's host killer B and Gukyi, the four of us came to the conclusion that we need to come back here. To start over. It was Gukyi's job to inform everyone of what happened and to warn them to train. None of our siblings know what we did so it was up to him to tell everyone so they can prepare. We handled our youngest brother Shukaku when he came to the leaf village. As for everyone else we don't know where they are, so it's up to B and Gukyi to tell everyone." Kurama didn't know what else to tell his brother so he sat down, like a fox, and waited.
"Why couldn't you come to us yourself! Why not travel with Gukyi and tell us everything, for all I know no one else knows and the rest of us are still struggling with these thoughts and memories of the future and no context as to what happened!" Saiken was obviously upset with his brother for what happened.
"I am sorry, but I am not free, I am still stuck in Naruto's seal, though hopefully for not to much longer. Plus Naruto plays to great a role in this world he could not leave, he is still but a kit, he is not grown by these humans scales. His life was just starting and we had to make sure certain events went along right. So far we know for sure that myself, Gukyi, Shukaku, yourself, and Nibi know the truth. Nibi is living close with Gukyi so it was easy for her to find out the truth from those two. You are right we should have done more, but we have been training and making sure the world went in the right direction. As it is we have already altered many facts of this world, and the future is being changed as we speak, who knows what will happen. For now we all need to train, I admire you're training, but don't overdo it. If our calculations are correct we have 3 years until the Akatsuki make their move." Kurama sat in silence letting his brother process all of the information that he just received. It was quite a lot, so he had nothing more but to wait.
"I understand… but where do we go from here? Myself and Utakata have done nothing more than train, but even I feel like he isn't strong enough yet. He is strong, he could easily take on any of those Jounin rank ninja's without the use of my power. Though even with my power he couldn't stop a kage, at least not yet. What do you suggest we do brother?" Saiken was still lost, it made sense for the longest time all the bijuu were free to do as they pleased and than over the last hundred or so years they've done nothing but be enslaved so now that they were in this predicament with pretty much all the jinchuuriki and the bijuu were together it was a weird place to be. No one knew what to do, and Kurama had no idea what the other bijuu the ones they haven't talked to are doing yet.
"That's up to you two, but all I can say is don't stop training, myself, Gukyi, Nibi, and Shukaku are all going to be here if you need help. Don't be afraid to ask, the safest place for you to reside would be either cloud or the leaf village. The Raikage won't turn down another jinchuuriki, and the leaf village will help in anyway possible. Both places will help you get stronger, but what you decide is up to you, personally I would stay free but that's because I like my freedom, but with Naruto I know I will never be alone, for the first time since the time of father, I consider someone a friend, how this boy did it is beyond me, but I am forever grateful for him changing me." Kurama knew Naruto could hear him speak, the beast sighed, "It is time I go, Naruto cannot keep this connection going to much longer without pulling out more of my chakra, just use our mental connection to talk to me. Now that we have made contact we can do it again" Kurama assured his younger sibling, the Bijuu nodded showing he understood, and in an instant Naruto was back and he immediately passed out. Saiken reversed his form letting his host take charge again after they conversed on what to do. Once back in his body Utakata sat and waited, he knew Naruto would wake up eventually.
"So you're finally waking up huh?" Naruto held his head as he sat up slowly, his eyes adjusting to the dark around him. It was still nighttime, but there wasn't much around him, than he remembered the blastwave of chakra coming from the other jinchuuriki. And letting Kurama take over. His mind flooded with the memory of the two bijuu conversing.
"It's good to see you again Utakata, it's been a very long time. I'm sorry for leaving you lost in this world. I should have taken better responsibility instead of leaving everything to Killer B. For that I am sorry my friend, but what are you going to do from here on out?" Naruto knew what the Bijuu wanted to do, he could tell from the being's aura, he wanted the best for Ukataka and wanted the boy safe. But Naruto did not know what Utakata wanted, and that was the real question. What did he want?
"I talked it over with Saiken while you slept, honestly I kind of want to just keep being a wanderer, but even I know that's not too safe. I was thinking maybe go to cloud, Killer B has mastered his Bijuu and I've heard rumours that Yugito Nii mastered the Nibi also, maybe I could learn to safely tame Saiken there and we could work better together too. But again the Raikage isn't someone I could follow, so that leaves me with the leaf village. That leaves me with you Naruto, things would be better and I would be safest there, so I wish to go there and I want you to take me there." Utakata finally said after going over all his reasonings for what he was going to do.
Naruto smiled, he figured the boy would want to goto the leaf, it was the best option, including that the invasion didn't happen the village was stronger than ever. Naruto sighed though, "I like your decision of course I want you there I know you would be safest there but I personally cannot take you. Right this very moment I'm on a classified mission, so I can't help you, but you should know something. The third Hokage knows the truth about us, about the future. I entrusted it to him once things got dangerous he thought I wasn't me but a spy, so I had to do what was safest, I can't leave the village yet unfortunately .If you go there and tell the hokage you know about the future and tell him who and what you are, you will have a safe place there. I'll send a message to him ahead of time also via my summon animal." Naruto was hoping this would be enough for him, he didn't want to lose another friend.
Utakata sat for a moment thinking about what to do. He felt uncomfortable going to the leaf without Naruto with him. But he knew he couldn't not go, this was his best chance for safety, finally not having to live with worry about when he would be attacked again. "Send the message ahead, I'll leave in the morning, just know that I'm not coming alone. My uncle is a farmer and he is traveling with me. So just know he will be joining me in the village, I refuse to go without him he's my only family left."
Naruto smiled, "Don't worry that's all good, get back to your family and pack you still have a long way to go, the village for you guys is at least another 2 weeks if you're walking. So go and do what you need, and when I get home I'll do what I can to help you. Granted I might just call Killer B to come help you with your bijuu training, it's not safe to do that in the village. The villagers like most villagers are afraid of the chakra from a Bijuu." Naruto needed to warn the boy, even though Sarutobi might do the same anyways, he just wanted to give another heads up.
"I understand thank you… I will see you soon yes?" Utakata asked, his eyes showing worry for being alone.
Naruto gave his foxy grin, "You fucking bet you will! Now get going, I need to get back also" and with that the two left going their separate ways. Naruto looked over his shoulder as he jumped through the tree line, he was glad everything went well, but he didn't want anything bad to happen to his friend. Though when he first met the boy years ago they were initially enemies he made a comrade out of him, and due to there mutuality he considered him his sibling just like he would with any other jinchuuriki.
It didn't take Naruto to long to get back to the hotel room, he saw Jiraiya and Arashi passed out, Naruto went to bed and joined the two in sleep, it was a long day but also a good one. Not much got done but he enjoyed himself, and he found someone to help. Naruto quickly summoned a small toad and gave it instructions to give to the third hokage, and once the toad was gone Naruto closed his eyes drifting off knowing in his gut something bad was going to happen, he just didn't know what.
