Konoha's Demon Fox
Chapter 5: Blondes
When Naruto awoke a few hours later, he looked around the room. He was in his room. No doubt Itachi put him there. Only Itachi knew which room in this giant house was his.
Naruto pulled his arms back and crosses then behind his head, attempting to think for a while. He was aware of exactly what made him faint. His father had just shown up.
A frown came up on his face. That couldn't be true. His father was dead. Dead because of his son took his life. Things were just simply not adding up.
'Kyuubi-Sama? Are you awake?'
"Yes, kit. I have been in thought for the last few hours."
Naruto mentally sighed, 'I guess I'll leave you to your thoughts then.'
A growl sounded in his mind "Nonsense! It is no trouble talking to you, kit. Especially since I'm not long for this world much longer. I was just thinking about all the things that I would not be able to be with you much longer. In all senses, I think of you as my own kit, and it is depressing to know that I will not be able to see what you will become…"
'Idiot fox! After all that you have done for me, do you honestly think that I would just sit by as you disappear!'
"It is inevitable, kit. I have about seven hours before we are fully merged."
Naruto made sure that Kyuubi could feel his smirk, 'Oh really? Care to make a wager on that?'
"…Kit, I know you have something planned. Please, don't do something dangerous for me. I accept my fate. You should be happy. Soon, you will be ruler of all demons, and the best ninja ever. You are lucky. Some amazing powers are bestowed automatically to the demon lord, different for each one."
Naruto sat up from his bed, 'You know, I was planning to ask you if my father was actually alive, and not just a fake. However, I doubt you're too deep into your unneeded angst to help me.'
"…He is your father. I know that just by being near him. No other human can produce such an aura as his power does. He can probably match your demon aura even as pure as yours has become. I will expect great things from you, my heir. To think, a human like you has received my demon blood and genes and has become stronger than any demon. It prides me to know that I have helped make what soon will be talked about for generations."
Naruto smiled warmly, 'Thank you for your kind words, Kyuubi-Sama. I will talk with you soon.'
Naruto moved to his dresser and felt around the side. Pressing a hidden button, a compartment opened up, revealing a single folder. Smirking, Naruto moved into the middle of the room and sat down.
Inside the folder was Naruto's best creation yet. All his hard work and studying of sealing techniques were put together into one seal. Grabbing the seal note and a pouch of pills that were saved away for just this occasion.
Naruto made a shadow clone on the spot, not even needing hand seals to do the technique any longer. Once the clone was there, Naruto started to make hand seals.
Once the last hand seal was made, Naruto whispered, "Influx chakra barrier."
The technique that Naruto used had a single purpose. It would keep chakra from being detected from outside the barrier, no matter how large. And Naruto need that very badly.
Taking a deep breath, Naruto sighed and nodded to his clone, who already knew what to do. The clone moved his hand into the single seal that caused the fox boy to get into trouble many times before. The seal used for the first kinjutsu he had ever invented. Sexy no Jutsu.
However, the technique was not limited to making him look like a girl. No, this technique was different from any henge. His transformation completely changed the body. In short, those times that Naruto used the skill, he actually was a girl. A real transformation.
Also, as it was being used now, the technique could make him change into anything, not just him as a nude girl. He could become an old man or a young boy.
This time, the clone made himself into a man around the age of twenty. There were some strange things about this man's features that were not 'normal', but that was the point.
Once the clone was finished, Naruto sucked in a breath and held it as he put the seal not onto the clone's forehead and pushed as much chakra as he could into the seal.
Immediately, a bright red light flashed, but did not go away. Several minutes later, Naruto felt the last of his chakra being drained. Still holding onto the seal, the blonde gulped down one of the soldier pills that he had in the pouch and felt his chakra completely fill up again. Renewed, Naruto began to push chakra into the seal at a faster rate, creating chakra burns on his palm, but he didn't care. It would heal soon enough.
As he came close to using half of his renewed chakra, the light dimmed down, signaling Naruto to stop fueling chakra. The light completely faded away and the chakra barrier disappeared, leaving Naruto drenched in sweat. Popping another pill into his mouth, he felt good as new. He smirked. Mission success.
--------------
In the living room of the Uzumaki-clan house, now known as Naruto's house, sat two great ninja. Uchiha Itachi and Uzumaki Arashi. Silence had taken it's hold ever since Naruto had fainted. Itachi was silent because he just didn't know what to say, and Arashi because he was looking around, finding changes that had happened since he had been gone.
Finally, Arashi sighed, "So, uh, can you tell me what has been happening since I have been gone?"
Itachi looked down, feeling guilty, "I can, but it won't be much. Until three days ago, I was a missing-nin."
Arashi blinked, "Really?"
Itachi nodded, "However, I can tell you what I have seen so far and heard from Naruto."
This caused a smile from Arashi, "Please do."
---------------
Naruto stayed silent, just observing his newest jutsu in action. He had to make sure he did it right, after all.
The clone looked around, completely alert and confused. Looking forward at Naruto, the clone narrowed his eyes, "What in the hell did you do?"
Naruto relaxed. It had worked all right, "Now, how can you be so rude, Kyuubi? Especially since I just did the impossible just for you. Told you that your angst was unneeded."
Kyuubi (the clone) gave the boy a confused look, "The impossible?"
The boy nodded as he sat down at the edge of his bed, "Yes. See, I knew that the time would come when you would disappear, and me being me, just wouldn't let that happen. I spent two days of constant study on sealing techniques just to come up with what I did today."
"And what, pray tell, did you do?"
Kyuubi received a foxy smirk before his question was answered, "I gave you a new chance at life. First, I simply made a shadow clone and had it transform into the person you are now. Second, was the hard part. The seal I created and used then had three main functions that will remain with you for the rest of your life.
"The first function, was that it made the clone into a real body. Completely human where it could no longer be called a technique, but an actual person. That used up most of my near limitless chakra. The second function gave the new body a completely developed chakra coil, so that the body could replenish chakra. That's what sealed the deal for the body. It would be there for good and won't break down or die. The third and last function, as you can probably guess, destroyed it's mind, and transferred yours into the body. I based it of the famous mind swap jutsu that Ino and her family uses, but this is a little more permanent. That about sums up what I did."
Kyuubi's eyes went wide, "So, that means…."
Naruto grinned, "Exactly, you're here for good. Congrats. Although, there are some things I need to tell you first."
Kyuubi was listening to Naruto's every word, "Like?"
"Simply put, you're completely human. Emotions and all. No longer are you a demon. It will be weird at first, but I'm sure you'll get used to the feelings. I suggest you study up on books about human children care and stuff like that. Then, human anatomy for a grown male. They will tell you in detail how your body functions and what limits the human body has. Unlike demons, human's need to sleep almost every day, and eat proper food to be able to function at its best. I'll make sure to be around and guide you until you know enough to do it on your own."
Kyuubi nodded. He was actually memorizing every word. His kit had given him the greatest gift. A second chance. He would be a fool to let it slip away due to not treating himself right, "Is there anything else?"
Naruto smiled, "Your chakra. It works different now, so you'll have to relearn how to control it. Once you do, I made sure that you had a chakra reserve about the size of Itachi's to start off with, but with training, you can make it larger. It will be hard, but I'm sure you can do it. I'll help you as you helped me learn to use demon chakra. Call it returning the favor. What will you do with your new life? It's yours to choose."
Kyuubi smirked, "For some foolish reason, I want to become a leaf ninja and team up with a loud mouth. How will I learn to control my chakra? I want to start right away."
Naruto shook his head, "No, first learn to control your body, then chakra. Trust me, it is more important. It should take about a week to learn how to control your body. Then, knowing your intelligence, chakra will be a snap."
Admitting defeat, Kyuubi walked over to the mirror and looked at his new image, Naruto watching intently. Looking back at him was an unfamiliar face. His skin was tanned, but showed no blemishes. He was about as tall as Naruto was now. His figure was slender, but toned. His clothes consisted of the exact clothes Naruto wore, no doubt since the close was Naruto's. The face was lean, holding no baby fat. He had no facial hair, and doubted that he ever would. He had tattoos on his cheeks, much like the Inuzuka clan, but his were black and sharper than theirs. As he looked at his eyes and hair, he spun around to face Naruto, "You gave me blue eyes and blonde hair? I look like you, brat!"
Naruto smiled warmly, "Of course. I greatly look like my father, so I figured that it was an Uzumaki trait. Well, I have red eyes now and red streaks through my blonde, but you remember how I used to look. I found it fitting that you had the same traits I had, since you're family now, too. Like my big brother, really."
Kyuubi smiled at the boy, "Uzumaki Kyuubi. That will take time getting used to. Speaking of your father, we need to go meet him. Though I can't wear this out there. That belongs to you and Arashi. I need my own style."
Naruto walked to his closet and pulled out a couple articles of clothing, and held them up. They were exactly like Arashi's coat, but the colors and Kanji were different, "So, which one do you like best? I had two different ones made so you can have a choice. Since my father is back and has his coat, I might as well as take the one you don't. I need a different style as well."
Kyuubi looked at them both. The first was black where the original coat was white, and the flames were still red. On the back, the kanji said 'Kyuubi' in the same red color as the flames. The second coat was black as well, but the flames and the kanji for 'Kyuubi' were blue.
After a moment, Kyuubi reached out and grabbed the one with blue flames and kanji. As he changed, he explained, "I'll take the blue since they match the color of my eyes. As the one with red matches yours. It's fitting that they both say 'Kyuubi', since I'm the old Kyuubi and you're the new."
Naruto flashed a foxy smirk and threw on his new coat as well. However, he left his sword sitting on the bed, since it need to be cleaned after all the blood that had been left on it. Feeling relaxed in the new clothing, he looked over to his new big brother, "Come, let's go become legends."
----------------------
It was around the middle of their tale when Kakashi and Jiraiya came and saw who was there. Itachi they were fairly used to, but to see Arashi sitting and talking completely flipped their world.
As to not make them faint, Itachi and Arashi quickly summed up how the Yondaime was back. Soon, there was hugs and they settled down to talk about everything that had happened. Arashi was most interested about how everyone had a connection to his son.
Everyone sat into a comfortable silence after talking about what had happened for the last several years and stories about Naruto, both good and bad.
Arashi leaned back and thought about each thing that concerned his son.
Kakashi used to be Naruto's sensei, before Naruto quit the team due to the favoritism Kakashi had showed Sasuke. This discomforted him a little. However, now his son and Kakashi had a pretty close friendship. Kakashi even told Naruto about his family.
Jiraiya had trained Naruto to summon the toads. That had made Yondaime smirk. Like father, like son, it seems. He laughed at the nickname the boy had given his sensei, and waved off the warning that he was given about never using the same name if he wanted to stay alive. The surprising thing was that Naruto had won Jiraiya's place on the Legendary Sannin. The boy must be insanely strong to be his sensei. Arashi grinned. Looks like it was time for the long due family spar.
Itachi, now reinstated and also newly appointed Orochimaru's replacement on the Sannin trio, was Naruto's new teammate. Naruto had brought him back to Konoha and convinced Sarutobi to hear him out. Now, Itachi and Naruto lived in this house.
Naruto, in general, was amazing. Even though all the abuse he had taken from the stupid village, the boy smiled at life. Though he used to be quite a dunce, things had changed. Uzumaki Naruto was one of the best, due, surprisingly, to Kyuubi. The fox had befriended the boy, trained him, and gave him his power. No wonder Naruto looked so fox-like when he had seen him. That made Arashi wonder what else the fox had given his son. If he ever saw Kyuubi again, he would have to thank the fox.
His thoughts were brought to an end when the group heard talking come closer. Arashi looked at each other with confused looks. One voice was Naruto, but the other sounded unfamiliar. It couldn't be that Gaara kid, he was still asleep and would be for days. This new voice belonged to someone else.
Through the door came two figures, both with blond hair, and clothes with the same design as Arashi's, but each with different colors. They both looked close enough be family. Naruto, all fox features aside, looked like Arashi's son, but the other looked exactly like the Yondaime, with the exception on the tattoos on his face. The other ninja stood up in front of the two, waiting for an introduction while being as alert as ever.
Naruto smiled at everyone, before he found himself locked in a gaze with his father, "Father…"
Everyone in the room, including Kyuubi, backed off to give the two their respected space. However, Naruto snapped out of his daze and grabbed Kyuubi by the jacket and pulled him up to them, "You should meet him, too."
Arashi watched his son's actions, "Naruto, who is this young man? Are we related somehow?"
Naruto nodded, "Yes, he is my big brother."
Everyone else sweat-dropped, though it was Kakashi that snapped out of it, "Ok, brat. We get it. Nice joke. Dispel the clone, you don't have a brother."
Naruto smiled, "I do now. Father, I want you to meet my new big brother, Kyuubi."
For a second, everyone was frozen in shock. However, once that wore off, they went into defensive stances, except for Itachi, who knew Kyuubi personally for two weeks now. He just simply sat back down and looked at Kyuubi in wonder. He had never taken human form before. The others, though, were edging forward.
Having none of that, Naruto took a step forward, letting his massive chakra become visible, "No one will dare touch him unless they get through me. He is human now, just as you are. As he is getting used to his new body, he cannot protect himself. However, I sure as hell can!"
Kyuubi put a hand on his shoulder, "Naruto, I can leave. I don't want this to ruin your relationship with these people."
Naruto never stopped glaring at the group, "No, brother. It is okay. They just don't understand. That's all. We shall explain to them. They will see."
He motioned for everyone to sit down, which they did so, but had their guard up.
As Naruto told them about how his deal with Kyuubi started and until now, the ninjas slowly relaxed. Naruto explained how his and Kyuubi's relationship was and how Kyuubi had been about to be fully absorbed. He also told them about the technique he used in detail, to which they were amazed that he could pull off such a thing.
In fact, he told them everything, except for two things. However, he knew they would soon ask and he would not lie.
Everyone was now completely relaxed, but the two brothers were still standing up. Seeing no seats anywhere, Naruto motioned for them to go get some chairs. As they walked into the next room, Arashi and the others noticed the kanji on their backs. When they got back, the Yondaime asked about it.
"Son, I can understand Kyuubi having his name on his coat, but why is it on yours as well? And if Kyuubi is fully out of your body, why do you still have transformed features? Is it because his chakra is still inside you?"
Naruto froze for a second, but relaxed. He sighed, "To answer your questions, I will have to explain something. Please keep an open mind. Kyuubi does not have his name on his coat. To put it simply, he no longer has a name, since it was long forgotten. Kyuubi is the rank given to the nine-tails by demons. So, in a way, that is his name, since he was the Kyuubi."
"Was?" asked Kakashi, "By becoming human, another demon has the chance to become the nine-tails and ruler of the demons, right? Like our Hokage?"
Naruto nodded, "Exactly. When Sarutobi retired, for my father, everyone still called him Sandaime. Likewise, my brother will always have the right to be referred to as Kyuubi."
Arashi frowned, "But won't that mean since Kyuubi is no longer a demon, every demon will be jumping at the chance to become the ruler? That would put humans at risk again. And even if the ruler has been decided, the demon may attack Konoha and try to finish the threat that defeated the last Demon Lord!"
Naruto shook his head, "No, the demon lord has already been named and will have no desire to destroy Konoha."
Jiraiya jumped up, "What makes you so sure about that, brat?"
Naruto simply smiled, "Because I am the new Demon Lord. That is why the kanji for 'Kyuubi' is upon my back as well."
Arashi's eyes went as wide as plates, "Son, what are you talking about? You're human. A human can't be the Demon Lord, no matter how much chakra you have."
Kyuubi cleared his throat, "Arashi, you made an error when you sealed me into the kit. Apparently, it not only absorbed my chakra, but it also made him half-demon. You should be proud. He will be more powerful than anyone in the world, will have the highest rank anyone can achieve, and that's even if he doesn't become Hokage. If he does become Hokage, just think! He could make sure no demon or human ever threatened the village. Hell, he could even unite the leaf and the demons if he so wished. The ultimate protector!"
Everyone was silent as the news sunk in. Naruto, being the dead-last, was now the highest ranking being in the world. However, that didn't mean everyone would listen to his command. Naruto's eyes snapped open.
He whirled around to Kyuubi, "Brother! We forgot about Sasuke! Hachimata might try to pull something now that the power has changed!"
As soon as he said that, an explosion went off from somewhere in the village. Everyone ran outside, while Naruto came out a few seconds later with his sword on his back.
Itachi growled, "I know that chakra. It's the leader of Akatsuki, and he's at the Uchiha Compound."
Naruto growled, "Dammit! Itachi and Kakashi, go after him. Make sure that we get Sasuke back. Restrain him if need be. I have to stay here. I have to get Kyuubi used to his new body as well as convince Shukaku to stay. Now, hurry!"
The two ninja nodded and disappeared. Once gone, Naruto looked at Arashi, who had a sloppy grin on his face, "What the hell are you smiling at?"
Kyuubi, who was also grinning answered, "It seems that you have a natural ability to lead."
Yondaime smirked, "He's right, little Godaime. You really take after me."
Kyuubi snickered, "It's so CUTE!"
Arashi nodded, "Yeah!"
Naruto had a giant smile on his face as he walked back into his house, followed by two other blondes who both had large bumps on top of their heads.
