LAST TIME

"Yes Hokage-sama, but do you think that the two ANBU watching me in the corners are really necessary?" Reikon asked amused.

The two said ANBU appeared in a poof of smoke. The Hokage looked shocked at Reikon.

"How did you know they were there?" he asked.

"Chakra pulse." Reikon stated simply.

"But only…"

"Yes Hokage-sama," Reikon said as he lowered the hood on his cloak, "I'm blind."

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Sarutabi, the Sandaime Hokage watched the boy as he removed his hood and started to

take off his cloak. The boy looked to be a few inches below five feet tall. He had on blue pants, a tight white shirt with loose sleeves ending at his elbows and had on a blue shinobi style vest. He also had blue ninja sandals on, around his arms bandages were rapped from his fingers up to his forearm, on his hands were a pair of blue fingerless gloves with metal guards on them (think Kakashi's gloves), over his face was a white face mask (again think Kakashi) and over his eyes was a piece of white clothe. He had wild fiery red hair that came down loosely to his shoulders (think Naruto's regular hair cut just red and longer in the back). The ANBU that appeared behind Reikon saw the kanji for Tenrai Manuko (divine eye) on the back of his vest. Around his pants was a belt that had six scrolls strapped on it, a kunai holster was strapped on his right leg and a shurikan holster was strapped around his left leg.

"May I ask you to remove your facemask and the cloth that's over your eyes," asked Sarutabi.

"Yes Hokage-sama," replied Reikon. When he removed his facemask the Hokage saw a lean face clear of any scars or blemishes (if your wondering were the whisker marks are I'll be coming to that later). When he removed the cloth that was around his eyes Sarutabi saw a pair of milky blue eyes with gray, dead pupils.

"All right then Reikon, you may put your facemask and eye cloth back on," said Sarutabi.

"Yes Hokage-sama," said Reikon as he put the facemask and clothe back over his eyes.

"Well, all seems to be in order Reikon, luckily for you only twenty-six academy students passed this year and we need twenty-seven, I simply need you to perform a basic Henge and Bunshin and you'll become a Leaf Genin and be assigned into a squad.

"Yes Hokage-sama," Reikon said as he put his hands up into a seal.

"Henge no Jutsu, Bunshin no Jutsu," Reikon said as a poof of smoke enveloped him. Sarutabi raised his eyebrow in interest as he saw this. When the smoke cleared stood four copies of Sarutabi.

"Will this do Hokage-sama," Reikon asked the old man.

"Yes that will do, you may dispel of the jutsu's now Reikon," Sarutabi said as the four clones of him disappeared and Reikon reappeared.

"Good Reikon you pass the test, unfortunately though since we don't have any other test scores or stats on you you'll be listed at the bottom of this years graduating class," Sarutabi said to Reikon.

"That's all right Hokage-sama, I'm just happy to be accepted," Reikon said smiling under his mask while rubbing the back of his head.

"Good, then here's your Leaf hitai-ate, " Sarutabi said as he pulled the hitai-ate out of his desk drawer and threw to Reikon. Reikon caught the hitai-ate with his left hand while he removed his eye cloth with his right and retied the hitai-ate over his eyes.

"Thank you Hokage-sama, where and when will I be meeting the team I'll be joining," Reikon asked as he adjusted the hitai-ate.

"You'll be meeting them tomorrow at eight A.M. at the ninja academy in room 206. I'll have a Chunin escort you around Konoha today after we're finished," said Sarutabi.

"Thank you Hokage-sama, may I go now I'd like to familiarize myself with Konoha and look for an apartment," Reikon asked.

"Yes you can go, just let me get someone to show you around," Sarutabi said as he motioned to one of the ANBU to come over.

"Go and get Iruka, with classes out today he's been after me for something to do, I think this should do nicely," Sarutabi said as the ANBU nodded and left in a poof of smoke.

"Just wait a minute Reikon and your escort will be here shortly," Sarutabi said.

It took ten minutes for Iruka to report to the Hokage's office and during that time Reikon was thinking to himself.

"I guess I'm lucky Hokage-jisan doesn't recognize me, though when I saw this new body I hardly recognized me..."

Flashback nine years ago

Naruto woke up, he was just expelled from his mind and he woke up with a headache and his muscles felt stiff.

"A-ah, that hurt," Naruto said rubbing his temples in an attempt to alleviate himself of the headache.

"ARGH!" Naruto yelped as he felt a pain coming from his abdomen. Red chakra started seep out off his abdomen and started to collect in front of him. After a few minutes of the red chakra coming out Naruto a small red nine-tailed fox appeared in front of Naruto.

"Kyuubi?" Naruto asked weakly.

"Yes, Kit," Kyuubi said to the dreary eyed Naruto, "just rest Kit it will take you a while from the strain you're body was put under. Naruto simply nodded and laid on the ground to rest. After half an hour Naruto started to wake up again and looked at the fox in front of him.

"Hi Kyuubi-san, what just happened," Naruto asked.

"I created a body for myself made of chakra," it seemed to have put a greater strain on your body then I thought it would have."

"It's alright Kyuubi-san no harm done," Naruto said with his fox smile.

"Alright then kit it's time you got a look at your new body, look over to your left Kit. There's a pond their where you can look at your reflection," Kyuubi said. Naruto did as he was told and got up and headed toward the pond Kyuubi told him about. When he got there he pecked at the reflection he stumbled back in shock.

"What did you do!" Naruto said as he crawled back to look at his reflection. When he looked he was shocked. His hair was still bright yellow but on the top of his head were two black fox ears with white tips. His whisker marks on his cheeks were more defined and appeared more jagged as well. His eyes were different too, instead of the usual sky blue they were the same midnight black as the fur on his fox ears and the pupils were slits like a fox. When he put his right hand up to the whisker marks he found that his fingernails looked more claw-like and appeared to be really sharp if looks said anything about them. He saw that he was wearing black pants and a black thin clothe vest with a clothe belt tied around it (If you have ever watched Dragon Ball or Dragon Ball Z think Goku's training outfit minus the blue shirt.)

"Why do I look like this," Naruto said to himself not realizing that Kyuubi had walked up next to him.

"That's your oni body Kit," Kyuubi said startling the little fox boy.

"Oni," Naruto asked Kyuubi.

"Like I explained to you Kit when I fused your body with mine I separated my two chakra's, the demon chakra is in your human body that is currently being healed, while this body I created from the combination of your human and my kage chakra," Kyuubi said to the little fox boy.

"So I'm like you now Kyuubi-san," asked Naruto.

"Yes Kit, look behind you. You'll se that you have tail too," Kyuubi said with his own fox smirk when Naruto turned around and saw his tail.

"So why do I only have one when you have nine," Naruto complained crossing his arms and glaring at Kyuubi.

"Because Kit, you're body couldn't handle more then one tail," Kyuubi replied.

"...," Naruto just stared at Kyuubi confusedly.

Kyuubi sweat dropped at Naruto. "Kit guess I better explain a few things to you. Originally I

gained five tails from the kage chakra, those five tails are now in this body while my original four demon chakra tails are in your old body. Now both demon and kage chakra are innately evil. So simply using them will give you more violent urges or ideas. That's why I split up your human chakra to balance the two other chakra's out. But, at this time you don't have enough human chakra to use more then one tails worth of kage chakra even after I boasted your natural human chakra supply when forming this body. The only way to solve this problem is to train both your original body and new body until you have more human chakra to blend with your demon and kage chakra to keep from becoming evil. On that point look at your right arm."

Naruto did and was surprised to see a black fox tattoo on his forearm; it had five tails, four of which were black, while one was blue.

"What's this Kyuubi," Naruto asked with a confused expression on his face.

"That tattoo on your forearm has two purposes Kit, one is to regulate how much of your kage chakra you can use, you can only use as much as the amount of blue you see on each tail, the more blue tails the more kage chakra you can use. The second purpose is to observe your progress, slowly or quickly depending on how hard you train the black tails will turn blue as you gain more human chakra. When your other body is completely healed you'll find a similar tattoo to this one except that the fox will be red and have only four tails," Kyuubi explained to Naruto.

"So will my normal body look different," Naruto asked Kyuubi.

"Yes Kit it will, just wait a minute maybe I can show you," Kyuubi said as he closed his eyes and started to concentrate.

Again chakra started to pore out of Naruto and gather in front of him, but Naruto noted that it looked dark purple instead of red like earlier. The chakra started to solidify in front of him and a boy's body appeared in front of him. The boy had the same build and style clothing but it was red. His hair was the same style but it was a fiery red instead off yellow, he didn't have any fox ears but he also noticed that he didn't have his usual fox whisker marks either. Also when Naruto looked at his eyes he saw that the pupils appeared dead but eyes themselves seemed unchanged.

"Kyuubi why are my whisker marks gone and what's up with my eyes," Naruto asked worriedly.

"You see Kit, after what was done to you you're eyes were rendered useless and my healing abilities got to them too late to heal them. As a result when you revert to this body you'll be blind as for the whisker marks I thought it better to remove them since they stick out too much for this body."

"Blind I don't want to be blind Kyuubi," Naruto yelled on the verge of tears as he looked at the fox.

"Quiet down Kit, I will teach a technique that will allow you to see albeit not as good as when you revert to your new form," Kyuubi said to the little fox boy.

"Revert, you mean I can change between them, " Naruto asked sniffling a little bit.

"Yes Kit it's a technique that I'll eventually show you how to do," Kyuubi said.

"So how will I be able to see again Kyuubi-san," Naruto asked.

"It's another technique I'll be teaching you. It's called chakra pulse, once you gain control over your chakra you'll be able to constantly release small bursts of chakra that will reveal images to you in your head, it's a lot like the way bats use to see at night," Kyuubi said.

"How do bats see at night Kyuubi-san," Naruto asked.

"It's rather complex Kit. The easiest way to explain would be to show you, watch this Kit," Kyuubi said to a confused Naruto.

Kyuubi walked over to the pond and Naruto fallowed him over. Kyuubi then grabbed one of the rocks near the water with one of his tails and flung it into the pond. The rock hit the surface of the water and sent ripples flowing across the surface.

"You see how the rock created those ripples in the water Kit," Kyuubi asked Naruto.

"Yes Kyuubi-san," Naruto replied to the fox.

"Bats do much the same thing with their voices Kit, and when these ripples that they make come in contact with an object the wave bounces back to the bat and the bat can see what the object was."

"REALLY, YOU'LL TEACH ME TO DO THAT," Naruto yelled, excited at the prospect of learning something so cool (his thoughts not mine).

"Yes Kit, yes, now quit yelling," Kyuubi said with an annoyed glare at Naruto.

"But Kit this will be something that will take you several years to learn in this body, and once you're old body is healed it may take even longer with that one. Most likely another five or six years," Kyuubi said.

"What! But I was hoping to see jisan when I got back. He might not be around anymore by then," Naruto said as he started to leak tears again.

"You're only half right Kit," Kyuubi said as Naruto looked up at him with a puzzled look (common isn't it).

"You see Kit the demon world is not like the human world, each area of it is little bit different then the other and this one isn't any different," Kyuubi said.

"How is it different," Naruto asked.

"Time Kit, time in this region of the demon realm flows slower then in others. To be precise nine years spent here would only be nine months in the human world, so once you finish your training here you'll return to you're world and only nine months would have gone by which would leave you plenty of time to train your old body and return to Konoha," Kyuubi said.

"But I'll still look older then I should Kyuubi-san," Naruto said.

"Again Kit your only half right, your old body while it's being healed doesn't age so you will be able to return and be the proper age though the new body your using now will be nine years older then your old one though it may come in handy for you," Kyuubi said, "don't worry Kit everything will be fine."

"All right Kyuubi-san I trust you..."

END FLASHBACK

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

As Reikon was thinking back to past days a Chunin with a scare across his nose walked through the door into the Hokage's office.

"Ah, Iruka good to see you I have a small job here for you," Sarutabi said addressing Iruka.

" What do you need me to do Hokage-sama," Iruka asked hoping to finally have something to do today.

"Iruka this is Reikon, he just arrived today and will be meeting his Genin teammates tomorrow, I'll need you to show him around today," Sarutabi said pointing to Iruka's left," Reikon this Iruka, he's a teacher at the ninja academy."

"Hajimemashite (nice to meet you) Iruka-sensei," Reikon said walking to Iruka and extending his hand to him.

"It's nice to meet you too Reikon," Iruka said shaking Reikon's hand.

"Thank you again Hokage-sama," Reikon said as he and Iruka left the office.

Iruka showed Reikon around Konoha for a few hours. He showed him where the different shops where, both the ones for normal shopping and those for shinobi supplies. After showing him the shops he took him to one of the apartment buildings in the East Side of Konoha where most of the shinobi that didn't live in clan houses resided. After Reikon paid for one of the apartment's he and Iruka were getting hungry so they went to get something to eat. Reikon asked Iruka if there he knew any good ramen restaurants in Konoha.

"This is it Reikon, Ichiraku Ramen," Iruka said too Reikon when they arrived, "definitely the best place in Konoha for ramen."

"Good it's been a few weeks since I've had some ramen," Reikon said with a smile.

Iruka and Reikon were there for about an hour eating ramen and talking. Reikon asking how Iruka became a teacher and Iruka asking Reikon about his chakra pulse and his travels. Iruka and Reikon were laughing about some funny things Iruka had seen since he began teaching when a shinobi in a Chunin vest appeared behind them.

"Iruka it's terrible," the Chunin said nearly yelling in panic to Iruka.

"Calm down, what's wrong," Iruka said trying to calm down the Chunin.

"It's Mizuki, he's stolen the Scroll of Forbidden Sealing, the Hokage has is sending all able Chunin and Jonin to track him down before he escapes," the Chunin said to now shock-faced Iruka.

"All right I'm coming, I'm sorry Reikon but this is an emergency, will you be all right," Iruka said to Reikon as he was about to leave with the other Chunin.

"Don't worry Iruka-sensei I know my way back to my apartment," Reikon said to Iruka.

With a nod Iruka and the other Chunin disappeared (they ran like in the first episode of Naruto when Naruto stole the scroll not teleported like Kakashi dose. thank you ) to look for Mizuki.

"Let's see if I can give them a hand," Reikon said to himself while standing in front of Ichiraku's. Reikon put his right hand into a seal as started to concentrate, yellow chakra started to flare around him (his chakra is yellow and not blue because he has a mix of demon and human chakra). Slowly his awareness increased as his chakra pulse increased, first to ten blocks radius around then one mile around then ten miles then twenty miles then thirty miles and Konoha and most of it's surrounding area was encompassed in his vision.

"Kuso, I hate doing this, gives me too much of a headache. Let's see what's going on," Reikon thought to himself as he started to go over what he was seeing. After about ten minutes of looking he came about something suspicious.

"Ah, what have we here," Reikon said to himself. There about a ten miles outside Konoha was a mysterious shinobi with a giant scroll on his back leaping through the trees with Iruka hot on his trail.

"That must be him, I better go help Iruka-sensei," Reikon said and was off after them.

Reikon ran out off Konoha and was running in the forest for about fifteen minutes when he reached Iruka and Mizuki. Iruka was leaning against a tree with several kunai protruding from his arms and legs. Mizuki was pulling out a giant shurikan strapped to his back and was getting ready to through it at Iruka to finish him off.

"Good bye Iruka, say hello to your parents from me," Mizuki said as he through the shurikan at Iruka. All Iruka could do was close his eyes as he waited for death to come. After a few seconds he didn't feel anything and opened hi eyes to see what happened.

"Reikon," Iruka said, barely whisper from being in shock at what he saw. There in front of him was Reikon with his right arm extended with his hand through the hole of the shurikan with it still spinning.

"If you ever hurt Iruka-sensei I'll kill you," Reikon said with malice in his voice radiating killer intent while he sent the shurikan flying into a tree a few yards to the right of him where it stuck

in place.

"Who are you, you little bastard," Mizuki said, shocked at the boy being able to catch his shurikan but refusing to show it.

"The names Kyukatsu Reikon, newest Genin of the Hidden Village of the Leaf," Reikon yelled at Mizuki.

"HA! Like a mere Genin can do anything against me. I'm a Chunin you little punk, I could kill you a hundred ways before you could even move from that spot," Mizuki yelled back to Reikon.

"Bring it," Reikon said getting in a fighting stance.

"With pleasure punk," Mizuki said as he placed the scroll on the ground and pulled out another shurikan from his back and ran toward Reikon who put his hand up into a seal.

"Kage Bunshin no Jutsu," he in a whisper as six clones appeared

next to him and got into a V-formation behind him and charged toward Mizuki.

"You think I'll fall for such a basic jutsu punk," Mizuki yelled with an arrogant smirk.

Mizuki and the Reikon's ran at each other. Just at they reached each other Mizuki slashed at Reikon when he and his clones disappeared from view.

"Where the..." "KYU!" Mizuki started to say when he was kicked in the head from the right from one of the clones and sending him flying to the left. "KATSU!" another clone appeared next him and delivered a powerful right-hock to Mizuki's gut sending flying backwards toward another clone. "REIKON!" the clone yelled kicking him in the back and sending him skywards. "RENDEN!" the final three clones and the original Reikon yelled while all four of them punched him hard in his gut and sending him reeling back to the ground. BOOM! A giant cloud of dust exploded everywhere when Mizuki hit the ground. When the dust settled you could see a bloody and beaten Mizuki lying at the bottom of the crater. Iruka stared in amazement at what he witnessed. Reikon walked over to where Mizuki placed the scroll and picked it up and headed back too Iruka.

"You okay Iruka-sensei," Reikon said smiling while bending down to the shocked Iruka.

"Y-ya Reikon, t-that was incredible," Iruka said looking up at Reikon.

"Come on Iruka-sensei, lets get you to a hospital to get these wounds treated," Reikon said to Iruka while extending his hand to him to help him up. Iruka took his hand and lifted himself up and he and Reikon started to walk back toward Konoha with Reikon dragging an unconscious and twitching Mizuki by his vest.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Back at the Hokage tower Sarutabi watched the altercation between the three and smiled to himself.

"Reikon, your turning out to be quit an interesting individual," the old man said with a smile.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Ha, ha, ha, ha, so was it worth the wait. Now before I get the reviews about the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu think about this, Naruto was taught by a who knows how many millenniums old demon. This should not surprise any of you. Thank you. Also good work Andrew, yared, hinata fan, winxclubluver, Dragon Man 180 (read his fics), x-tsubasa-x, and Chidori vs Rasengan for figuring out that Reikon means soul. All right then till next chapter, Cyberkagekitsune
