Author's note: I would probably do better if I got through a whole story before starting another one but for some reason ideas are popping up in my head and I have to write them down. I will say the same thing as I did when I started my other new story. This is not an already written story I am writing it as I go and when it comes to me. So don't expect regular updates and please do not bug me for them. I would love constructive criticism and will ignore flames. Please go easy on me I am still getting back into writing so it is going to be sloppy. I hope you enjoy it anyway.
Chapter One
Later that night when Jiraiya had left Naruto in another hotel room by himself while he went to the red lights district. He decided to find out why the fox had been so interested in the old legend the former monk had talked about. After creating some kage bunshins to act as watchers and guardians, per his usual routine now. Naruto settled himself in a comfortable meditative position on the bed and attempted to send himself deep into his mind to where the fox was. Soon enough his efforts paid off and he found himself in the sewer that represented his mind. Walking down the familiar path he soon came upon the nine tailed fox in all it's glory sitting behind the seal. The fox watched his approach with narrow eyes. It wasn't often his vessel came to him of his own accord.
Naruto knew by trial and error that the best way to get information from the demon was to straight out ask him. The old kitsune was a fountain of knowledge if he was in the right mood, but if he didn't want to answer something nothing would budge him. Seeing the burning eyes focused on him Naruto decided to just go for it, and mentally praying the fox was in a chatty mood, he spoke.
"Hey Kyuubi why were you so interested in that old legend we heard earlier?"
The edges of the fox's mouth began creeping up slowly until finally a malicious smile, showing all his teeth to they're finest, appeared. The kitsune's eyes were bright with glee as he answered.
"Because boy, the legend is true and if Akatsuki even manage to stumble near that valley they will die no matter how strong they are."
Naruto's eyes widened. Someone who could kill an Akatsuki member- and easily if the fox's tone was anything to go by- like that would be incredible. The way the fox spoke also gave Naruto the feeling that Kyuubi knew more about the strange woman and her guardian than what they had gotten from that former monk.
"Do you know who that woman is then?"
The Kyuubi snorted contemptuously and a wave of hot breath washed over Naruto,
"Boy, All demons know of her and the demon at her side. Back in those times it was smarter and safer to know what she was doing than to not know. She has the power to completely destroy a demon at her fingertips and anyone that has a hint of youkai blood in them."
The great fox demon threw his head back and laughed before turning eyes filled with malicious glee and knowledge back onto Naruto.
"Just think," his voice dropped and developed almost a purring quality. "All of your precious clan bloodlines could be wiped out with a wave of her…dainty…. little…hand."
Naruto stood there shocked as the Kyuubi began to laugh again. Feeling the tug of a kage bunshin trying to get his attention he allowed himself to be drawn away from the disturbing laughter echoing through the tunnels and his head. Coming back to himself he absorbed the memories of a Kage bunshin that had dispelled telling him that Jiraiya was on his way back to the room, and miracles of all miracles not completely wasted. Naruto was glad, he was still a little disturbed from the Kyuubi actually laughing at something and figured Jiraiya would want to know what the fox had said. He also wondered about the fox's last comment and figured Jiraiya would be able to figure it out easier than he would. So Naruto sat there until finally the room door opened and the old pervert walked in.
Stumbling only slightly Jiraiya opened the door to the room he had rented and found his student on one of the futons with his thinking face on. Jiraiya had only seen that look on the gaki's face a couple times and it usually involved the demon fox.
"What's that look on your face for gaki," he roared " Shouldn't you be practicing your chakra control instead of lazing about."
With that the older ninja made his way into the room and flopped himself onto the other futon while kicking off his geta before looking at his student for the anticipated response.
"Shut up Ero-sennin! I wasn't lazing about unlike you. I bet you spent all your time with whores again and nothing to show for it!" Naruto shouted red faced with his finger pointed accusingly at his teacher.
Jiraiya relaxed slightly, if Naruto could still chide him about his nighttime activities then what was troubling him couldn't be too bad.
""Don't call me that! Until you experience the wonders of a woman's flesh for yourself you shall not know of the true beauty a woman's form holds!"
The old pervert's eyes glazed over as he pantomimed running his hands over a woman's form, a line of drool began to form at the corner of his mouth as he let out a perverted giggle. However Naruto's next words snapped him right out of his self induced trance.
"Kyuubi was interested earlier when that old monk was talking about that legend so I went to ask him why. He said that it's true and the woman is real. He also said she could actually kill a demon and if Akatsuki even got near her they would die no matter how strong they are."
Naruto had his thinking face back on as he continued to speak, "then he said something about youkai blood and started laughing real creepy like. Then he made some comment about her being able to wipe out clan bloodlines with a wave of her hand."
All of a sudden in a flash of movement Naruto was face to face with a serious looking Jiraiya who grabbed both his shoulders in a strong grip before saying,
"Listen carefully Naruto, I need you to tell me exactly word for word exactly what the Kyuubi told you."
Naruto was puzzled but dutifully began to repeat what he had been told.
