The next day Naruto walked into his room and dropped dead onto his bed. Man, was he tired from all the training he had done with Yugito. Sadly he had made little to no progress. And he was highly disturbed to know that his ki control was terrific, but with chakra, it was trash. He looked up at his clock and saw he had a couple of hours to spare, so he decided to take a quick nap before going out again.
A few hours later, Team Goku was at Sasuke's house as they were having one of their usual get together. Sasuke looked around and realized Naruto had yet to arrive. "Yugito, when is your good-for-nothing boyfriend going to be here?"
"Yea yea yea Sasuke, I have no clue where he is. He is coming but cause you to have your ice princess looking after you 24/7 doesn't mean your relationship is better than ours," Yugito made sure to look over at Haku as she made the girl blush from saying she was somehow all over Sasuke 24/7
At that moment, Naruto walked through the door. "Don't worry, the sexiest Saiyan alive is here," He announced with the cockiest grin.
Sasuke couldn't help but scoff," Sexiest Saiyan year, right. I've seen Goku-senseis left pinky toe is better looking than you. Looks like a turtle that decided it wanted to become ninja," Sasuke said, causing the group to laugh besides Naruto, who was now fuming.
"Sure, Sasuke, I don't have a ducks ass hairstyle like you. You go swimming, and people would think a duck was trying to catch some fish. With that stupid hairstyle of yours," Naruto says, causing Sasuke to get upset. It looks like they both were itching for a fight. Unfortunately, Goku would have none of that and told the two to sit down as he had something to say.
"So guys, I was summoned by the Hokage and listen to what he had to tell me,"
Flashback...
"How would you like to be Hokage," The old man said, which brought great shock to the old Saiyan.
"Old man, you can't be serious. I can't be Hokage. I'm not from this time, I know nothing about this village, and I have a team to lead. You can't seriously make me Hokage,"
"Oh, Goku, do get so riled up. Let me explain your ability to lead others is a reason why I want you to. And with you as Hokage, I know this village would be in great care. It must be for a couple of years until Naruto or Sasuke is ready. And if they are not ready in a couple of years, you can appoint it to someone of your choosing. I know out of you and Vegeta, you are the fittest as I have a feeling if someone from a different village were to sneeze wrong in front of him, he would start a war. You also have a team, but being Hokage doesn't mean you can't train them. And your team has to be the strongest three-person team we have, even without you. So I believe your team is just fine,"
Goku took a while to process this. Yeah, he understood precisely what the Hokage was saying. To even be considered for the role is an honor in itself. But he still had his doubts about doing this.
"What about me knowing absolutely nothing about this village? I know absolutely nothing about this ninja world at all. How can you expect someone without the knowledge to be a leader," Goku asked.
Hiruzen gave a soft smile to Goku. And this smile, Goku could see everything. He saw the love he had for this village and its people. But most of all, you can see he was tired, and Goku knew him being old added to this.
"Simple Goku, I have a plan for this. In three months, we have an upcoming event called the chunin exams. And from now till then, we will have to teach you all Konoha history. This village she is an old one. But I promise you she is still beautiful. With the rest of the shinobi history, you can learn as you're in the office. After that, right before the chunin exams, I would like to appoint you as Hokage," Hiruzen said as he let Goku soak all this in.
Hiruzen knew that the village he loved was going on q downward slope. With the third great shinobi war and the Kyuubi attack 13 years ago. This village has lost all the workforce it had. And soon, it will lose its top spot as the most substantial village. There were 4 of the stronger people in the village as he spoke. Two of them were too you for the job. And one just gave off a villain vibe. Even though he knew his loyalty was to the two 12-year-olds, so he was glad that all four were on his side. Goku was indeed the best fit out of all of them.
"I understand, Hokage-sama; I would need a day or two to think about this. I will be back with an answer," Goku said respectfully and quickly disappeared from the room.
The Third Hokage gave a deep sigh. All he could do was wait now as he created two shadow clones and got back to work.
End of flashback
Everyone stood in silence, shocked at what Goku told them. It wasn't for a couple of moments before they heard.
"Do it, Kakarot," came from the one and only Vegeta. Everyone else seems to agree.
"Yes, Goku-sensei, do it," Came Everyone from team Goku with a firm nod.
"Ya know, it's my dream to become Hokage. So I'm fine with letting you keep that hat warm for me," Naruto said with a wide grin.
"Goku-sensei, I agree with everyone and the Third Hokage on this. You will make a fine Hokage unlike Vegeta-sensei," Sasuke said
"What was that Sasuke-chan? You must want a private training session in the HTC," Vegeta said, quite upset about no one thinking he could become Hokage.
Everyone couldn't help but laugh. Goku felt very happy all his friends and students had faith in him. It was obvious what he must do now.
A few hours of talking and enjoying the company. Naruto and Yugito left the Uchiha clan compound. They were currently walking back to Naruto's house; of course, they could get there faster but decided they wanted to walk together and enjoy the night.
"Ya know, Neko-hime, we haven't done this in a while. This feels nice," Naruto told her.
"Yea, Naru-kun, I can enjoy more walks together and enjoy the village at night," She said as she smiled at him and grabbed his hand. They walked side by side. They were enjoying each other company.
They took a slight detour and made their way atop the Hokage monument, where Naruto sat down, and Yugito laid next to him with her head in his lap. Naruto leaned back as both of them looked over the village.
"At night, the village looks so beautiful. There is nothing as beautiful beside you," Naruto said. Yugito smiled as she looked up and saw that a full moon was out.
"From here, the moon looks like a bowl of milk," She said
"Of course, leave it to you to think the moon looks like a bowl of milk, Neko-hime," Naruto replied and looked up, not expecting to see a full moon
Thump Thump
Naruto's eyes grew wide, and his canines started to grow
Thump-thump
his tail removed itself from around his waist and was now twitching around
Thump-thump.
Yugito looked up as she felt something was weird going on as her senses were telling her to run. And to her horror, she saw Naruto was transforming. She quickly got up to see what was happening.
Naruto tried his best to control his mind as he wouldn't let the great ape transformation take control. He's done this before, so it shouldn't be hard now. That's what he thought, but something or someone had other plans
"NOWS, MY CHANCE!" The Kyuubi said from indie the seal as he sent a bunch of his chakra out of the seal to try to take over Naruto.
Naruto was now struggling to control his body as his great ape sense and the nine tails were trying to take over.
"Ahhhhhh," Naruto screamed, scaring Yugito. He stood up and grabbed his head as he slowly began to grow.
The nine tails grinned; he waited patiently for a moment like this as he sent out even more chakra.
"YES, NARUTO, LOSE YOURSELF TO YOUR HATRED. LET IT ALL OUT," He chuckled as he knew he would soon be in control.
Yuigto watched in horror, not knowing what to do until Goku flashed in front of her with the Vegeta next to him. Goku quickly grabbed naruto, and they disappeared again. Leaving behind a stunned Yugito and Vegeta
"What happened here, woman," Vegeta asked, trying to get some answers.
Yugito snapping out of her stunned state proceeded to explain what happened. Vegetal muttered about Naruto being an idiot. And off in the distance behind the Hokage monument. You can see a giant ape in the back.
Suddenly pressure hit her as she couldn't take it as it scared her to her core. And she fainted from too much of it.
Down in the village, everyone started to panic as some knew what the KI pressure they felt as they felt 12 years ago.
Back with Goku, he was trying his best to calm down the great ape without force and was failing to do so. Ge had to keep dodging punches and ki attacks from the beast.
As he jumped a tremendous distance away, he got a look at Naruto and could see how this great ape transformation was different than his previous one.
Naruto's fur was dark red his eyes were also red with a feline slit in the middle. And the red aura surrounded him and shaped him like a fox.
"When I said that these two would make a dominant duo together. I didn't mean that one day the fox would take over. This will not be an easy battle," Goku said to himself; a second later, Vegeta arrived with Sasuke with him this time.
"I had to drop Yugito off Kakarot as she passed out from the killer intent from this beast. I also brought along Sasuke cause he said he couldn't leave his brother to hatred and some other bullshit," Vegeta told Goku, and He nodded in understanding.
"Goku-sensei, we must hurry up the people of the village are panicking right now, and I believe they might be coming here soon," Sasuke said
"Well, Sasuke, take the lead, this will be tough, but Vegeta and I will be your support," Sasuke walked forward and got into a fighting stance
"And for the love of God, don't look at the damn moon. If you both become great apes, I would big bang both of you guys so hard the village will. Be caught in the aftermath," Vegeta yelled at him.
"Ok, pause," Sasuke thought, but he understood what he meant. Sasuke looked forward at his brother. This is going to be one hell of a fight.
Sasuke flared his ki and took off, flying towards his friend. Naruto threw a punch. Sasuke was about dodge only for Vegeta appeared and sent and kicked naruto's fist down. Cause the giant monkey to come stumbling forward. Naruto Sasuke continued and kicked Naruto, sending him back.
Naruto looked up and launched a ki blast from his mouth, and the beam flew towards Sasuke. Goku appeared just in time with a Kamehameha and launched his attack, clashing with the beam. Goju had no problem holding back Naruto's attack, but he just had to hold him there.
"Sasuke, if you're done standing there, I need you to do something," Goku said. Sasuke flew around Goku and back to his target. He flew to the side as he looked at his best friend.
"You might wanna come back, Naruto; otherwise, this will hurt. Sasuke said as he sent a double ax handle forcing Naruto to stop his ki beam and Goku to cancel his.
Inside Naruto head
We find a Naruto kneeling in an empty dark space. His mind was completely shattered. And his eyes were pupilless. In the background, you see two red eyes appear.
"Naruto, come," A voice said from the pair of eyes. Naruto got up and started stumbling toward the voice. As he got closer, you could see giant red bars with a seal in the middle. And coming into the picture was the nine tails behind them.
"Yes, Naruto come closer," Naruto didn't reply as he got closer and closer. The Kyuubi chuckled as finally, he will be free. Naruto stopped before the gates as he slowly flew up to the seal.
"Rip, this seal off Naruto, free me," The Kyuubi said. Naruto reached forward and grasped the paper.
Naruto hesitated; he kept holding on to the seal but didn't rip it off. Kyuubi was getting annoyed as his freedom was almost within his reach.
"Hurry up, Naruto, rip the seal off," The Kyuubi yelled. Naruto looked up at the Kyuubi and just stood there. Not moving and not talking, it was like he died right on the spot.
Back outside
Sasuke was still fighting the great ape as Goku and Vegeta assisted him. "I think we might have to cut his tail off," Sasuke said. He knew that was not what they wanted, but it seemed that no matter what they did, Naruto kept getting back up.
"No, the moment you cut his tail off, he will get weaker. We can't let that happen at any cost," Vegeta said. Goku had an Idea and quickly disappeared, and a brief moment came back with a now awake Yugito. He held on to her and had his aura surround her so she wouldn't pass out again.
"Vegeta, remember the time when you let yourself get mind-controlled, and you used your ki to hold me down to the mountain," Goku said. Vegetal snarled as he didn't want to be reminded of such events.
"Yes, Kakarot, I remember," he looked away as it was not something he wanted to talk about.
"Well, Vegeta, here's the plan. Sasuke, you need to get Naruto on his back. And Vegeta, we need you to pin him down," Goku told the two the plan. Sasuke and Vegeta nodded and quickly started to attack as Goku and Yugito stood back and watched.
"Alright, Yugito, when the time comes, it won't be us that saves Naruto, but it will be you," Goku told her. Yugito looked at her in shock. What was she to do if they couldn't save Naruto? What good would she be?
"Listen, I know you think you can't do anything, but you're wrong," Goku looked at her and smiled. In the background, you can see Sasuke and Vegeta trying to pin down Naruto. It was more complicated than it looked. To think that it would be easy to get a giant monkey on its back was more challenging than it looked.
"Right now, we are going to have to rely on you. As it be, you can't beat him in a fight. Vegeta and I could kill Naruto right now. And this will all be over. But that's not what we need as you are a key part of this. Once Naruto is in the position, I will take you over there, and you need to talk to him. Bring him back to his senses,"
"But what if I can't bring him back. What if it's all for not? Yugito said as tears started falling down her face. She couldn't take the thought of losing. Naruto hurt her more than any shinobi ever could.
"You will bring him back right now; I'm going to guess and say that naruto's mind is in shambles. But one thing for sure is that he loves you with all his heart. If anyone can do it, it's you,"
Yugito couldn't take it anymore and started crying harder. She was scared, so Goku let her cry for a moment.
"Kakarot, we did it; hurry up before he breaks free," Vegeta yelled over at the two. Goku and Yugito looked over to a pinned-down Naruto as he struggled to break free.
"Listen, Yugito, and I trust you can do this. You are the only one who can do this. Now let's go fix our knuckle-headed Saiyan over there so we can go home," Goku, still holding on to Yugito, flew her over to the still struggling Saiyan.
They landed near his ear, and Goku nudged her to go on. Yugito began, "Naru-chan, it's me, Yugito, Your Neko-hime,"
The Giant monkey continued to struggle to show no signs of hearing her.
Inside Naruto's head
Naruto continued to show no change as he still held onto the seal. "Naru-Kun," a voice echoed throughout his mind. "Comeback," came next.
"NO WOMAN, YOU STAY OUT OF THIS," Kyuubi yelled and flushed more chakra into Naruto. On the outside, Naruto thrashed around even harder and a second tailed grew out of the chakra cloak.
Naruto finally moved and grabbed his head and screamed out in pain. As his mind was being completely broken. Naruto reached out, gripped the seal, and proceeded to rip it off. But he was quickly grabbed and thrown away.
Naruto lay there as the person who threw him walked closer. "Hello, son," The person said but received no reply. The person frowned as he looked down at his broken child.
"Fourth Hokage, how dare you show your face," Kyuubi roared angrily. However, the now-named Fourth didn't reply and just raised his hand and snapped his fingers, and the landscape changed, the Kyuubi nowhere in sight.
"Naruto, it's time you wake up now. You have people waiting on you," He spoke as he said that a voice came through.
"Naru-Kun, wake up, please, I'm begging you. My love, we need you to come back," The voice said as it started to fade away.
The fourth smiled as he kneeled next to his son. "Told you, Naruto, it's time to wake up," The fourth reached down and put his index and pointer finger on Naruto's forehead and began to push chakra to his son's head. At the same time, he was fixing the seal.
Naruto's pupils finally came back, and he looked around at the unknown location he was. He looked up, and to his surprise, the Fourth Hokage looked down at him.
"Hello, Naruto, my son," The fourth Hokage said as he looked down at his son with pride. Naruto didn't know what to say. The Fourth Hokage called him his son. That means the one who put that demon in him was his dad.
"Tou-san?" Naruto shakily said, tears coming down his face. The fourth Hokage stood as he reached his hand out, helping Naruto to his feet.
"Yes, Naruto, your dads here," Minato said as he pulled his son into a hug. And they both stood there embracing each other. Minato let go and got a closer look at Naruto. Crazy how it seemed like yesterday he was just a baby.
"We don't have much time, son, as I'm just a piece of chakra that was sealed here in case you lost control. But I already saw your memories, and I can't say how proud I am of you. If only your mother were here to see you granted, she'd probably be hugging you to death," He chuckled.
"Tou-san, I am upset that you sealed the nine-tails inside me. But I don't think if things happened; differently, I would be with the same people I am with today. Because of that, I will not be upset at you for doing this to me," Naruto told his father
"When I sealed the nine tails in you, I did it because I knew you would be the one to control its power. Your mother was pretty pissed about it. Even as we were at the death door, she punched me. But she wouldn't be who she should be if she didn't. Listen, Naruto, I have to go but don't worry, your mother and I will always love you no matter what. We are proud of you no matter what you choose to do with our life. You are our son. You will always have our love. So hurry and return. They are worried about you," Minato told his son as he began to fade away, and Naruto reappeared in front of the nine tails. The nine tails saw Naruto had returned to his usual self and decided to go further into the seal t be left alone.
"Well, it looks like it's time to get going," Naruto faded away as well.
On the outside, Everyone watched as Naruto stopped struggling and his chakra cloak disappeared. He started shrinking back down. When it was over, everyone rushed to him and helped him up.
"Uhh, hi, everyone," Naruto said
"As I said earlier, you are good for nothing," Sasuke said out loud, which caused Goku to laugh and Vegeta to smirk. Yugito slammed into Naruto, crying about him returning.
After Yugito finished crying, she let Naruto go as it was time for them to head back. The sun was starting to peek, and sunrise told them it was now early morning.
End.
