Hello everyone,
This is a chapter starting to dwell more on what they find out about Naruto's and Sasuke's families past together.
Boys-Love-Yaoi: No they won't feel the other battling but they will know if the other is hurt more Naruto because he is the one with the ability and the one that cast the spell. You will find out more about Kakashi and the secrets of the Demon foxes within the next two chapters. Glad you liked it.
Guest: He actually has nothing against Naruto per say its more along the lines of wanting to get Naruto away from Sasuke. He hates Sasuke because Itachi would pay attention to him and not pay attention to him. We can call him a petty child. You won't find out about the terriority situation for a few chapters but you will find out.
I am glad that everyone is really enjoying the story. Thanks for all the reviews.
Enjoy the chapter.
It has been a week since Kurama came to the castle and Naruto has been going crazy. I don't know why but he has been changing into fox form multiple times during the day that he is driving me crazy. I have no clue but he has been even pacing in my room that it has been freaking me out. He barely talks to me as of lately. I am starting to think that something is really wrong with him. Naruto has been disappearing in the middle of the night as human and as his fox form.
As of now it's night and I decided to follow him leaving Chibi behind in the room. Naruto walked out of the room and has been roaming around the castle for a while now and I hope my father doesn't find him because if he does he will get punished.
I walked up to him, "Naruto, what are you looking for?" I asked.
"Looking for a dungeon here that a fox used to be or is still in." Naruto said not even looking at me.
"Why didn't you just ask me?" I asked.
He finally looked at me with a look that said I was stupid.
"What?" I asked.
"Sasuke, let's be serious you wouldn't know that." Naruto said looking at me dumbfounded.
"I lived here my whole life, how wouldn't I know what's in the castle?" I asked.
"Because there are things people hide from kids or teenagers. I wouldn't tell you if I knew what they do to people." Naruto said and shifted his body.
All of a sudden he got really tense and pulled me to a side of the castle where no one would see me or him. That's when I heard the voices that he heard.
"What do you think?" Kakashi said.
"I think we should do something about it or the foxes that took his mystical forest will come here next." Another guard named Yamato said.
I looked at Naruto and understood why he was so tense now. "What are they talking about?" I whispered.
"They are thinking of ways to get my forest back but it's already over. And the people and fox's that took over it expect me to go back that way the castle can get attacked while I am gone. They seem to think they wouldn't be under attack if I wasn't here." Naruto said bitterly.
"We were already about to be attacked. I was just the beginning." I said knowing exactly what he was talking about.
"Yes, in fox demon culture if we were to attack something we would take out the runt or the woman first because we wouldn't want the runt to suffer. Sometimes they would even take the runt as their own but you're not exactly an age they would want." Naruto said looking around to see if anyone was there.
"I want to know how you know this seeing as you didn't get raised by anyone but that can wait until later. So, it was a mercy killing for me?" I asked.
I was actually really shocked that Naruto knew any of this seeing as he wasn't around anyone basically his whole life.
"In Kurama's eyes no it was a hate kill." Naruto said and we walked around the corner.
I wasn't really shocked that Kurama hated me. I hated him also because he was an asshole.
"Sasuke, don't take what I said personally…" Naruto was saying but got cut off by me.
"I know he hated me because I took his precious time away from my brother. Do you really think he loves my brother?" I asked.
"Honestly… I don't know but it does seem that way. I don't know what kind of love he has though." Naruto said.
"Demon foxes are weird." I said.
"And humans are vexing creatures." Naruto said bristling with irritation.
"You don't have to get mad foxy." I taunted him.
That was until I heard a low growl and his eyes go red.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"We have to hide." Naruto said changing to his fox form.
Naruto didn't wait for me to talk before he grabbed me in his mouth from my shirt collar and jumped into heating dock by the ceiling blocks.
"What did I say about you putting me in your mouth?" I whispered grumbling because I was irritated that he put me in his mouth AGAIN.
Naruto licked my mouth to get me to be quiet.
"Really?" I said looking at him.
He just gave me a fox smirk before he turned his head to the men on the floor.
"Are you serious? Now there is two foxes on the property. Do you think we should tell Mikoto?" a guard said.
"I don't think we should excite her about another demon fox being on the premise. Especially because I heard other guards talking about getting rid of Master Sasuke's fox." The other guard answered.
Naruto growled a menacing growl and was about to leap out of the place we were until I caught him.
"Naruto, calm down. You can't go hurting all the guards for talking shit." I said when I noticed he wasn't calming I kissed his snout to calm him which made him calm immediately.
"Good boy now chill, okay?" I said looking him in the eyes.
He nodded at me and we continued to listen to the guards talk.
"Can you believe Master Sasuke brought a demon fox here? He's a lot like his mother, nothing like his father." the first guard said.
"From what I heard that it was the blonde man's fox and it came with him to protect him." The second guard said.
I thought it was about time that they got back to work and when I was going to tell them something Itachi came.
"Do you have anything better to do than stand around talking about my brother?" Itachi said coldly toward the guards. The guards ran away not saying anything to Itachi.
"He knows we're here," Naruto whispered to me.
"How?" I asked.
Before Naruto even had the chance to answer the guards were away and Itachi spoke.
"Sasuke, fox you can come out now." Itachi said with a bit warmer voice now.
Naruto didn't hesitate to put me in his mouth again and jump off the ceiling like an acrobat.
"Damn it, why do you keep doing that?" I complained with slobber on me from his mouth.
Naruto just turned his head ignoring me.
"I could have let you fall." Naruto said in his fox form.
"You, fucker." Sasuke mumbled and brought his attention back to his brother.
"Where did you two just come from?" Itachi asked curiously.
"The ceiling," I said casually like it wasn't an obscured place to be.
"Okay, what are you two doing roaming the castle at night?" Itachi asked ignoring the comment about us being on the ceiling.
"Sasuke, ask him about the dungeons. He knows about them I know he does." Naruto said in his fox form.
"Itachi, where are the dungeons that they keep the demon foxes? We know there's another Fox on the property." I said.
"Sasuke, I can't tell you that without consequences." Itachi said looking at me. "Why do you keep looking for the dungeon cuticles?" Itachi asked looking at Naruto.
"Because I want to find him." Naruto said to me.
"Because he has personal business doing it. Just tell me I don't care about the consequences I just need to find out where they are." I said pleading to my older brother.
"Itachi, Sasuke, Fox, what are you doing in the hallway at this time at night?" Kakashi said.
Before me or Itachi could speak Naruto transformed into his human form and spoke.
"I am looking for a male fox that has been in the kingdom for about four to five years." Naruto said shocking me and my brother.
Kakashi was about to talk but Naruto stopped him.
"Before you say you don't know what I am talking about, let me verify one thing for you. I know you know and I know you know where but I also know you don't have clearance to that area. What I want to know is where it is so I can speak to that fox. So don't bother lying about it because I know he's here." Naruto said.
"Kakashi, there's another fox here?" I questioned.
"We had four foxes in the castle but never at once." Kakashi said but started to look around feeling this was a bad area to talk about it. "Come with me," Kakashi said and started to lead us down the corridor.
When we got to his room we all sat down to listen but Naruto was pretty irritated and wound up changing into fox form again. He sat by me with his head in my lap so I could pet him. I could see out of the corner of my eye that my brother was smirking and staring at me and Naruto.
Naruto nudged me, "go on," I said for Naruto.
"Okay, when I first came here there were two foxes, a pair they happened to have a baby kit but it disappeared, this was before even Itachi was born and I was around the age of eight. I followed the guard before me around to know the grounds. The reason a lot of us are shocked by his color is because one of the foxes that were here was a pure gold fox." Kakashi said pointing to Naruto.
Naruto changed forms so quickly and leaped at Kakashi. "Are they still around? Where are they?" Naruto questioned.
"I don't know. One day they were just gone. I heard that the female fox got extremely depressed after losing her kit that she passed and the other fox went mad from losing his mate and his kit. But there are other theories to that story. From what I heard there are still two foxes on the property aside from you. One fox was always guarding your mother." Kakashi said pointing to us.
When Kakashi spoke I saw all the happiness deflate from Naruto. It was quite sad to see. He changed into his fox form and whined.
"Kakashi, can you take us there?" I asked.
Kakashi and Itachi both looked at me like I was crazy but Naruto looked at me with pure joy and rubbed on my face.
"Are you nuts?" Kakashi said.
That made Naruto growl at Kakashi.
"Calm down Naruto. Please Kakashi," I said pleading.
"I will go with them if that matters." Itachi said.
"You're going to get us all killed for your fox." Kakashi said appalled.
Naruto growled again baring his teeth to prove he wouldn't take no more insults.
"Calm," I said petting him again. "Kakashi," I said pleading.
"Fine, but I am going too." Kakashi said.
Naruto jumped up and licked Kakashi on his cheek and ran to jump around. Why does he seem like a big puppy about to get taken outside for the first time today?
"Naruto, come on we should go tell Chibi." I said standing up with everyone following me.
Naruto jumped toward the door and blocked it off and started to growl.
"What's going on with your fox?" Kakashi asked.
"He senses trouble." The moment I said that a sword went through the door almost stabbing Naruto.
"Sasuke, go to the secret tunnel in the room. I will be fine trust me you will know if something happens to me." Naruto said in his fox form.
"Kakashi, we have to go through the tunnels." I said surprising Kakashi that I knew about them.
At the moment though it seemed Kakashi wasn't going to question it and just ran to the tunnel so we could escape. We made it through the tunnels and it smelt so bad.
"What do you think that was?" Kakashi asked.
"I don't know, but it obviously was meant for an attack on you or that might have been Kurama again." I said.
"Why do you assume it was Kurama?" Itachi whined.
"Because he already tried to kill me Itachi and he is a fox." I said shocked that my brother was still sticking to the fox but then I remembered what Naruto said about the mate situation.
"It could have been someone else." Itachi said.
"Yeah and they knew we were both in Kakashi's room. Seriously, brother you have to think wisely. You could have lost your little brother to the fox you care so much about. He was trying to kill me because he hates me." I said stopping in front of my brother.
"He does not," Itachi said trying to argue but I knew the truth.
"He does, this conversation is over until I find out Naruto is okay." I said continuing to walk.
"Why do you assume he hates you?" Itachi said not letting the subject go.
"Itachi, leave it alone until we get out this situation." Kakashi said from behind Itachi.
We walked and wound up in the catacombs of the basement then I realized Kakashi had a straight link to the dungeons. I smelled something that was vaguely familiar from when I was in the mystical forest.
"Kakashi, is this where the dungeons are?" I asked.
"Yes, straight ahead." He said getting out of the tunnel.
I started walking when I started to hear growling and roaring then I started to hear talking.
"Young one," a demon fox whispered or at least it felt like a whisper.
I walked even faster ignoring Kakashi and Itachi telling me to stop, that was when I came face to face with one large fox at least eight-foot-tall standing in his fox form. The fox was all red and black and quite beautiful if his teeth weren't out and frightening for that matter.
"You're not scared?" the fox asked.
"Honestly only of your teeth." I said.
Kakashi and Itachi were shocked that I was communicating with the fox.
"You smell of a fox. Why?" the fox said.
"Don't you think it's more respectful to ask for a name first before you ask questions? My name is Sasuke." I said.
"Jiraya, you smell like a little twerp that I once met way back." The fox named Jiraya said.
"Could that be a fox that wound up in the mystical forest when you got captured?" I asked.
"Yeah it was, how is the little lad?" Jiraya asked a tad bit happier.
"Well he's here." I said.
"WHAT? WHY WOULD HE WILLINGLY COME HERE?" Jiraya screamed which scared Itachi and Kakashi because they couldn't understand him.
"He came here for me." I said.
"Oh, are you his mate?" Jiraya asked.
"Not that I know of." I said.
"But what I don't understand is why you smell like him?" Jiraya asked.
"He saved me by giving me some of his blood." I said.
Kakashi and Itachi were shocked to hear what Naruto really did to get me better again. Jiraya laughed and started to paw his face like he was face-palming the idiocy of Naruto.
"That kid must have really cared about your life if he did that. It's really a risky procedure to do." Jiraya said.
"I don't know how it was I slept for two days after he did it." I said.
"Well, where is the little kit?" Jiraya asked.
"Someone attacked and he protected the three of us." I said pointing toward my brother and Kakashi.
"Oh poor people that mess with that kit." Jiraya said.
"Why do you say that?" I asked concerned.
"Because living in the mystical forest for that long tends to change a fox. He may be one of the most aggressive foxes in this vicinity. Hell even more aggressive then me or that fox over there." Jiraya said tilting his head the other direction.
"Why do you say that?" I asked.
"Because the mystical forest changes foxes into their more aggressive nature. And since he was always alone to begin with he is ten times worse. The kit never had a family of his own. So living solo is how he survived." Jiraya said lying down.
I started to walk toward the other fox and Jiraya stood quickly.
"Don't do that kid," Jiraya called to me.
"Why?" I said as I still walked toward the cage.
"Because he hates humans even if you smell like a fox." Jiraya said but I continued to walk.
When I got in the vicinity of the other fox I noticed it was a beautiful gold and white fox that was now growling staring at me. This fox was at least eight-foot-tall also and he was vicious. The fox didn't try to speak to me either, he just growled and started to pound on the cage and that's when the shutters on the end of the cage started to break down and the cage came open.
"KID GET OUT OF THERE NOW!" Jiraya stood pawing at his own cage.
That's when I thought I was going to die. I tried to run but I couldn't move and when the fox was about to charge at me my brother jumped in with his sword with Kakashi. The fox knocked them both out the way when I knew at that moment I was definitely going to die.
"KID! RUN! I can't get out of here. He has been here for years so his cage is old my is new. SO RUN NOW!" Jiraya yelled.
My legs actually started to move for me and that's when I saw Chibi run past me and attack the bigger fox by biting on his ears.
"Sasuke, get out of here." Chibi screamed as she crawled on the foxes back.
I started to move again and went for the tunnels but then I heard a cry and it was Chibi so I ran back just in time to catch her from slamming into the wall. The fox slowly started to approach me and I had to close my eyes at the final minutes of my life and thought about how beautiful Naruto was in fox form and human form. That's when I heard a growl that I was familiar with and it was menacing more than I usually hear. I opened my eyes to see Naruto as big as the other foxes with all his tails whipping in the air proving how mad he was. All his teeth were bare and the other fox was shocked back for a second that a fox this aggressive was protecting me.
"BACK UP!" Naruto growled at the fox.
I was scared and didn't know how to go to my brother or Kakashi.
"Why are you protecting these humans?" the other fox growled.
"Do you not see he is a kid? They were kids when you were around." Naruto said gesturing with his snout. "BACK OFF OR I WILL MAKE YOU!" Naruto said in the most aggressive tone I ever heard him use.
The fox backed off a little bit and didn't seem like he was going to make a move but Naruto didn't want to look away just in case.
"Sasuke? Are you okay?" Naruto questioned.
"Yes I am but Chibi is hurt. I didn't know you can go this big." I said slightly afraid.
Naruto pawed me into the other room and then moved forward.
"I thought you said to back off and I did why are you going into a fighting stance?" the fox asked getting into a defensive stance also.
"That was until I found out you hurt my fox." Naruto said with a low growl and grouched to fight.
"NARUTO DON'T! ITACHI AND KAKASHI ARE OVER THERE!" I screamed not wanting my brother and Kakashi to get hurt.
Naruto growled but stopped his attack and started to walk toward Kakashi and Itachi changing into his human form as he moved. The other fox was so shocked when Naruto transformed all the way into his human form that I started to see him changing into his human form.
"Son?" the unknown fox said shocking everyone in the room even Naruto.

What really happened with Naruto when he was a kit?
