Troubled lives and sorrow anew
Gradually Naruto grew to know the nine-tailed fox. He no longer viewed him as an evil demon, but a victim of circumstance. Because of the boy's growing understanding of his motives and personality, Tails occasionally helped him perform pranks! Naruto and the fox agreed the name wasn't too bad, especially after they heard the other names Naruto came up with!
Tails slowly started to like the kid. What really made his day though, was Naruto's Sexy no Jutsu! The look on people's faces when that was preformed was hilarious!
All of Naruto's teachers and fellow classmates had realized by now that he had an 'Imaginary Fox Friend'. They usually ignored him when he spaced out while talking to Tails. Thanks to Tails though, Naruto's grades started rising! This shocked everyone, especially Naruto!
Things changed drastically when the Anbu Black Ops started to suspect that Naruto's friend Tails was really the Nine-Tailed Fox! But they had no way to prove this, and because of no proof no one believed them. Naruto didn't play as many pranks before because of this Tails, so why can't they leave him in peace? (They thought that it was Tails influence that Naruto left the villagers alone. This was partially true.)
But this didn't stop the ANBU from putting Naruto under a strict eye. This annoyed both Naruto and especially Tails to no end. This was a little too true when they couldn't even take a shower without them watching. They were so irritated that they started to take camping trips deep in the woods more often. Things looked bad until the third Hokage finally realized what was happening and put all the Anbu who were watching Naruto on missions which prevented them from bothering the boy.
Though their life really took a weird turn when the fox kit showed up one night. Tails took one look at the fox and told Naruto that this was no ordinary fox. Naruto was confused as to what he meant until Tails finally told Naruto about his offspring. Naruto asked Tails why he was so sure that the fox wasn't normal.
The answer to this was very simple; the fox was surrounded by a demonic aura. This can only occur if the fox either has two or more tails or was born from two Kitsunes. It turned out to be the latter. The kit had no name as its parents had died before they could give it one. (I would say who the parents were, but that would spoil the fun.)
Tails took one look at the fox and then asked Naruto if he could speak to it. He agreed, though he was curious about why he would speak to another fox to begin with. Tails had told him many times that he could never talk to his children again. If he did, they would know what really happened and might take revenge. This would be disastrous for both them and the Foxes.
"Hello little kit. What brings you to this part of the forest?" asked Tails who was trying to mimic Naruto's voice.
The fox looked at them suspiciously. How did they know that he could talk in the human tongue? It cautiously answered.
"My reason is of no concern to you, human. Just as my existence is of no concern to my older siblings."
Tails was startled at the foxes reply. Why would he say that his existence was of no concern of his family? Tails had one more question to ask the fox.
"How old are you and who are your parents?"
Now it was the foxes turn to be startled! He never suspected that this human would be friendly. He had always been told by his oldest brother Kyuubi to never associate with humans.
"I am around 7 years old in mortal time. I've often been told by my brother Kyuubi that I was the only kit to survive the fire which killed the rest of the kits born of the nine-tailed lord of the forests."
Tails was shocked at this little bit of information. He never knew that one kit survived the massacre from before he attacked the village! He had to ask one final question before he let Naruto take back his body.
"Why are you traveling alone if you are the last of the litter? Shouldn't you be with one of the older kits?"
The fox looked sad and lonely after Tails said this. He replied "I should have l another one of the older foxes with me. But they never have any time and they always make bad excuses as to why they aren't there."
Tails felt sorry for his son. He had about the same kind of life as Naruto's. What would Tails and Naruto do? Would they help the lonely fox kit or would they ignore the problem?
