Naruto and Tails name the kit

Tails had enough of his son's stupidity. The fact that he didn't have at least one of the older kits protecting the youngest was unacceptable.

"Care to explain why this kit roams alone without someone watching him, Kyuubi-chan?"

"He reminded us of what happened and we had a hard time bearing it."

"THAT'S YOUR EXCUSE?!"

Naruto was surprised at Tails anger. This wasn't like his friend at all. He had to stop Tails before he did something he would really regret later.

"I may not know what's going on, but I think the little kit has the right to make up his own mind on where he wants to live."

Kyuubi, Tails and the young fox all stared at Naruto. Apparently they had forgotten that he was there too. But his interruption did do the trick, as Tail's temper cooled down enough to think rationally.

"The boy may be young and naïve, but he is right. The kit should decide and not us. Agreed son?"

"Agreed father. Alright younger brother, you can decide your own fate."

"I want to stay with Naruto and Tails. At least there I can finally live without the fear of death at the hands of mortals."

Tails chuckled. He'd lived over 1,000 years and the younger generations still surprised him. Some things never change and probably never will.

"The younger kits are always full of surprises aren't they?" chuckled Tails.

Kyuubi couldn't help but laugh too. The statement was as accurate as they come!

Tails, you better tell me what happened to you or you'll never hear the end of it from me.

Tomorrow little kit, tomorrow. I promise I'll tell you then.

Kyuubi stayed with Naruto, Tails and the kit for the rest of the night as protection. The next day, Naruto and the kit headed back to the village. (The fox was riding atop his head, exactly like Akamaru does.)

When Naruto and the fox reached the classroom, they got the attention of nearly the entire class, most notably the teachers. They were shocked and disturbed to see a fox on Naruto's head. (Not surprising considering they still hated Tails and his kin.)

After a small but highly loud argument with his sensei, Naruto was allowed to bring the fox to class. Now there were at least two people with their animals friends allowed in class. When the final bell rang, Naruto and the kit headed to his favorite Ramen shop for a treat.

While the shopkeeper and his daughter were surprised to see Naruto's new friend, they were more than happy to give him some treats on-the-house! The fox had never eaten anything this edible in a long time. (He had to fend for himself up to this point.)

After both of their bellies were full, Naruto and the fox went to his favorite place to practice. The first thing on the agenda for today…coming up with a name for their new ninja companion!

And to top it off, the name they came up with would also be used as his fox clan name since Tails was his biological father. There was just one problem. They couldn't come up a good name for the fox! Tails was already taken, so that was out of the question. They were at a loss for a good name. Finally Tails came up with a stand in until they could come up with something better.

And that name was…Naru-chan?!
