Notes: If you didn't know what the Harem is compromised of, it is: Sakura, Yugito, Hinata, Kira (you'll find out who she is later) and Tenten. There will be some fangirls and admirations, but the harem is made up of those five girls.
Chapter 4: Dreaming
Naruto sighed as he entered his apartment. He spied Satoshi and Takeshi lying in their futons in between the couch, where Kasumi was laying, and the television. The blonde-haired Jinchuuriki's eyes wandered over to the small table on his bedside table. He walked over and plucked the note attached to it.
It read, 'Yo, Naruto. Tsunade-sama got me to find your kunai at the training grounds. It's inside the first drawer (next to the picture of Princess Yukie kissing you, teehee). – Signed, Satoshi'.
Naruto blushed at the kissing comment. Why the Uchiha got him that as a souvenir, he'll never know. The blonde opened the first drawer and, like the note said, there was his special three-pronged kunai. Naruto picked it up and smiled. He walked over into a corner of his apartment and pried open a floorboard. In the empty spot below was a big gray box, filled to the brim with thousands of yen and unchecked mission payments.
Around the box were several items of specialty to him. One was a small plushy toy. It was a small reddish hued fox toy with big blue plastic eyes. It wore a little orange sweater with a black swirl mark on the back. The small toy practically screamed cuteness. Naruto had affectionately named him 'Dattebayo-kun' (oh come on, he was seven at the time). Next to it was his old walrus cap. It was a bit dusty, but still usable. Naruto put the kunai in the small space and covered it again with the floorboard. He calmly walked back to his bed and flopped onto it, falling into deep slumber…
In Naruto's dream, the blonde wandered in his dream realm.
This is weird. Naruto thought. Instead of the normal sewers of his mindscape, it was a long white hallway. Several mahogany doors lined the sides of the hall. The blonde tentatively opened one door. Beyond the entrance was Orochimaru sitting in a director's chair. He had a notepad on his lap and he was facing a small stage attached to a wall in the room. Just then the curtains opened up and revealed Sakura and Yugito. Naruto's jaw dropped.
Sakura had a very tight pink tank top that showed her midriff. She also wore a very short pink skirt that practically showed her underwear. To top it off, she had a pair of pink bunny ears adorned on her head. That would have made her extremely cute, if not for 85 percent of her body being visible.
Yugito had a white tank top that although not showing her midriff, still looked very tight, and showed all her upper body curves. She wore a brown pair of pants that matched the shade of her hair. And on her head were a small pair purple cat ears. This would have also made her cute if not for almost all of her body's curves visible through her clothing.
"Wow. Nice dream you have." A voice said next to the blonde-haired shinobi. Naruto jumped, startled.
He turned and found a man about a foot taller than him, with blood red hair and eyes. The man had a handsome face that had six deep whisker marks that gave him a feral look. He wore a simple black kimono that had red lining. What stood out the most was the blood red fox tail swaying behind him. Naruto blinked. This must be Kyuubi's human form.
"Uh, Kyuubi, what are you doing here?" Naruto asked him. "How'd you get out of your cage?"
Kyuubi snorted. "That's because we're in your subconscious mindscape."
Naruto gave him a blank stare. "What's the difference?"
"The usual sewer of your mindscape that you see is the bridge between your conscious and subconscious. In your real subconscious, I can roam freely to see your dreams and memories." The demon lord explained. Naruto nodded, accepting his answer. Kyuubi grinned coyly. "So, Kit, what's with your interesting dream?"
Naruto turned to look at the stage again and found the two girls in very suggestive positions. The blonde was rocketed back by an imaginary stream of dream-blood.
The last thing he heard from the room was Orochimaru's voice. "Bravo! You are qualified for Mass Catfights the TV show!"
Later on, Naruto walked down the halls of his dreamscape (that's what I'll call it) with his tenant. Suddenly a door opened and a small cloud emerged from it. Naruto blinked with confusion. Then the cloud rocketed into the blonde's forehead.
"Graah!" He shouted as he fell down from the force. "What the hell was that!?"
Kyuubi chuckled. "That's how you technically remember things. That door was a memory chamber containing material to potentially embarrass someone."
The demon lord then caught an eyeful of Naruto's foxy grin. "What?"
Naruto smirked as he stood up. "You and Nibi were dating?"
The kitsune somehow paled and blushed at the same time. "W-what? What a-are you t-talking about?"
Naruto's smirk grew wider. "Don't play dumb, Kyuubi. I heard your conversation, you and Nibi were dating!"
Kyuubi sighed. "Fine I'll tell you about it."
Naruto chuckled. Then he looked up at the man. "Wait a second, how do demons date? I mean it's not like there are demonic restaurants."
"Many high-level demons have the ability to morph into human forms through the Fourth Blessing. The Tanuki, Neko and Kame had several items blessed by the Nezumi that also gave them the same ability, but it lasted only a short time." The red-haired kitsune explained. "Many of our followers were hidden throughout the Elemental Countries."
"Wait, so are there any of your followers in Konoha?" Naruto asked.
"Sadly, no. When I was sealed, all of the demonic peoples living in Konoha left. And not only that, there are several demon hunters these days who have several Jutsus that can detect our chakra. They are very skilled and can take down even the strongest of our clans. I believe only 25 of the demonic population is still alive." Kyuubi sadly stated.
"Oh, so is that why you attacked the village? To get revenge on some demon hunters here?" Naruto guessed. Kyuubi laughed.
"Oh no! My reason for supposedly 'attacking' Konoha is very different!"
"Really? Then what's the reason."
"One word: Fangirls."
Naruto blinked. "Fangirls?"
"Fangirls." Kyuubi stated again.
"And how exactly do fangirls fit into this?" Naruto's eyebrow twitched with annoyance.
Kyuubi smiled sheepishly. "Well…"
Flashback no Jutsu!
"Dammit, Nibi! I thought you said this village had none of my fangirls!" Kyuubi screamed as he ran alongside Nibi.
"There weren't! Maybe these are all humans!" Nibi screamed back.
"Then how are they able to match our speed!" Kyuubi said as he and his 'date' ran at excess 90 mph. A crowd of girls (and a few men) followed them. Each pursuer had a strange mark that made them feral looking and signifying they were demons. They ranged from small marks on their foreheads to bumps in their hair that looked oddly like ears.
Kyuubi dodged a net thrown by a girl with z-shaped marks on her cheek, a Tokage. "This is all your fault!"
Nibi humphed. "Fine then! If this is my fault, you won't need me! I'll see ya later, Kyuu-kun!"
She ran off in another direction. Unfortunately, the men in the pursuing group were Nibi's fanboys. They ran after her.
Soon after, both Nibi and Kyuubi changed into their full demonic forms to gain more speed. Nibi soon ran into Kumogakure, where the Sandaime Raikage sealed her into young Nii Yugito. Seeing as their crush was gone, the demonic fanboys left, a sad frown on their faces. Kyuubi ran for an entire three months from his demonic fangirls. On his 'journeys', he accidentally destroyed a mountain, rose an accidental tsunami, created several whirlwinds, and crushed an elder Konoha council member on vacation. The latter of which caused Konoha ninjas to attack the fox lord. This angered the demon (duh!) and caused him to wage full war on the great village. The rest is history…
Flashback no Jutsu, Kai!
Naruto was twitching all over. "So you mean I suffered 13 years of pain, prejudice, and loneliness because of fangirls…"
Kyuubi nodded. "Yup."
"AAAARRRRRGGGHHHH!!!!"
It took almost a dreamscape day to calm the young blonde down. However the teen was still twitching.
Meanwhile Satoshi wandered his dreamscape. Alongside him was another tall and handsome man. He had turquoise hair and grass green eyes. Scaly z-shaped marks were on his cheeks. He wore a green male kimono that had an opening at the behind of his waist. This opening was occupied by a large scaly tail. A couple of spines stuck out of his neck and poked at the insides of his kimono.
"So, why'd you bring me here, Sichibi?" Satoshi asked the Regent of Worlds.
The said demon grinned widely. "It is about time I gave you something."
"What is it?" Satoshi asked eagerly.
Sichibi grinned even more. "The Pokemon Summoning Contract."
Satoshi only smiled.
The Pokemon trio stared at Naruto, who was twitching.
Satoshi decided to take the initiative. "Uh, Naruto? You okay? What happened?"
Naruto twitched his head to look at him. "I just learned a shocking thing in my dream that I wished I never knew about."
Takeshi leaned over to Kasumi and whispered. "Maybe it's a dream about those Lee and Gai fellas he told us about."
Kasumi stifled a giggle. Satoshi raised an eyebrow, but shrugged. Right now, he was psyched! He had gotten the Pokemon Summoning Contract! He couldn't wait to try it.
Naruto looked out the window and found a hawk flying right outside his window. He stopped twitching and sighed. "Looks like Baachan wants us."
Tsunade looked up at the young shinobi in front of her. She had recently made Takeshi and Kasumi into chuunin. And now she had a very important mission for them.
She smiled at the blonde boy. "Naruto, you and your friends are going to go get Gaara."
