Hey all sorry for the epic fail in getting this updated. But Life tried to bite me in the but then cover me with lemon juice. But Onward and Upward they say.. Enjoy and as you all Guessed I don't own Naruto.. however Shiruba.. yep he's all mine ;)

/Three Months Later/

Naruto looked around the training ground he had started in so many years ago, "Well kit... show me what you got." He looked at Shiruba with a smile

"Hai!" He took off running across the field aiming at a training post. "Kitsune Style: Hyrdo Shock!" His mouth opened shooting a bullet of water, with a strange glow to it. Slamming into the post the instant smell of ozone filled the air as the water was quickly evaporated by the electric current.

"Good one.." 'Wish I could merge my elements though... ' He thought with a small quirk of his head that he shook off. " Give me six shadow clones and try the prison field techinique."

The kitsune looked down at his paws, "Tou-san... I can only make four clones..."

Frowning, "Oh." he rubbed his chin, before smiling. "That's alright I just keep forgetting about that.." Walking over he rubbed the silver fur between the ears. "

His ears twitched, "Shino-san is coming."

They both turned to see the younger boy, appear down the road walking straight for them. "Naruto-san. My father wished for me to give you this scroll over Kikkaichu. As well it contains the basic methods of controlling them." He pulled a scroll from his coat pocket.

Taking it and slipping it inside his own, "I thought he said I shouldn't use them for a while yet?"

"That is true, however he feels that they should be sufficient enough to begin working with them in training." Pushing his glasses up, " He also wanted to see if you've made contact with your hives queen?"

Tilting his head to the side, 'I don't think I have...how do I..'

: That is simple, focus your thoughts onto me and I will receive them.: A metalic sounding voice filtered through his mind.

'Oh well that was easier than I thought. Is there anything you need?' He questioned silent. : Not at this moment, we are ready for combat. As for my children you have a new breed from the rest we have met. Take us to the Elder.. There are some from this cycle that are close to expiration. They will be given to learn from.: Nodding mentally, "It seems she wants me to visit your Father again, to have him 'learn' about the differences."

"Logical deduction, it seems your queen is highly intelligent." Stuffing his hands in his pocket, "Father isn't busy at the moment if you wish now?"

"Come along Kit.." looking over his shoulder before turning back to Shino, "That would probably be best. I would rather know just what they are capable of before I end up using them in battle."

/Aburame Compound/

The steady buzz of beetles filled the air as he was let into the study, "Aburame-sama." He nodded his head to the man sitting behind his desk.

The exchange of kikkai was swift, "Uzumaki-san." He stacked the papers on his desk out of the way. "It seems to be that time then?"

"Yes, my queen informed me that my hive is much different than the original and she expressed to have you examine them to determine the difference." Holding out his hand ten beetles slipped into his palm before flying to the desk. "These are nearing the end of their cycle and do not need be returned."

Shibi, carefully collected them. "If you would wait here for a moment this shouldn't take to long to determine the differences with our records." Getting up he walked out.

"When he wakes up there will be even more voices in your head..." Shiruba quiped with a smirk on his features.

His blue eyes looking down at the kitsune, "Yes and you're a talking Kitsune.. I think I'm quite used to strange things happening."

Sticking his tongue out, " That's only because you made me able to talk."

"True. You're welcome." He winked with a smirk.

"Oh yea.."

"Shiruba.. are you thinking I'm replacing you?" He noted the fox look down, "It's not going to happen. " Getting up he gave the kitsune a hug, and carried him back to his seat.

The two sat there in comfortable silence for a while before Shibi returned. Two identical scrolls in hand, "I will say that your hive is fascinating." Taking his seat at the desk. "They are indeed a new species which we have decided to call Akuma Kikkaichu. It seems due to your unique chakra as well as you use of that seal along with forgoing the bonding jutsu for so long it allowed them to evolve faster."

Nodding along, "So what are the differences?"

Clearing his throat, "They still devour chakra like the common variety though they take more than we thought possible and we believe this is due to your bloodline. Secondly they have developed a poison that seems to affect the nervous system and motor skills." He sat the scrolls on the desk sliding one to Naruto. "Lastly I have to ask do you know what your affinity is?"

"Yes I have wind and water."

Rubbing his chin, "It seems that is an oversight from our clan."

"What is?"

Shifting his glasses, "Because your hive was left to adapt to your chakra for a year they attuned to your elemental affinities. A weakness to our techniques has always been fire. With the water chakra they seem to produce they have developed a resistance, and with your wind chakra have become faster with flight and can extend the range of the sent based ability."

Taking in the information with a slight nod his mind began funneling everything around and relaying it to the queen who in turn agreed with him. As Queens had ancestral memories imprinted upon them to better govern and direct their hives. "Then that means you are going to be changing your own clans bonding rites by letting the hive adapt for a year and then performing the bonding jutsu at four after introducing the hive at three. Along with the seal being placed at birth."

The elder nodded, "Yes. With these changes that you have allowed my clan to adapt, evolve and truly become more than we have since the Aburame learned to bond with Kikkai." Getting up he walked to his window to look out of it. "I doubt the changes will be as explicit as your own, but it will make them unique to each and increase the overall effectiveness of my clan."

Smiling, "Wow.. I didn't think it would be that much.."

A faint smirk hidden by his coat, "One change can have long term ripples causing more smaller changes. That scroll is a copy of some basic techniques to use with your hive that are taught to all children of this clan.

/Inazuka Compound Two weeks later/

Naruto was sitting in the veterinary office while Hana looked over Shiruba, since he seemed to be acting strangely and having difficulties moving. A large scroll was sitting next to him, his hand writing visible on the casing.

"You wanted to see me Naruto?" Tsume spoke walking into the office.

Getting up, "Actually I wanted to give you something." He hefted the large scroll towards her.

Catching it she raised a brow. "This would be?"

Taking a deep breath, "It's a variant taijutsu style that I came up with for using a companion. True most of your ninken are much larger than he is but I figured it would work like the academy style.. as a stepping stone since this works off precision and speed."

With the brow still raised she rolled it open on the counter looking it over with a critical eye. "There are many similarities to our Beast Fang style..." she hummed looking through some of the specialized moves. "It seems to take a lot of focus though?"

Nodding, "Yea After being in school with both Kiraba and Kiba... along with spending time with Hana I noticed your clan seems to have a short temper and the desire to jump right into a fight." He shrugged, "Not to sound rude but.. that's not always the best given as a gennin we aren't developed fully and neither are our companions."

She made a slight fist before releasing it, "True and if they actually have to remain calm and focused they loose a bit of the power from their attacks. But with this they would be more maneuverable and aware of their surroundings more." A small smile crossed her feral features. 'Kids given us another way to grow stronger...' Walking over she gave him a small hug before looking down at him. "You are a rare type of person Naruto.. No matter who you are related too makes no difference but you carry their spirit by doing this."

He blushed slightly when Hana arrived without Shiruba. "Mom?"

Tsume looked over and nodded."I'll leave you two alone." Taking the scroll and walking out.

"Naruto...SHiruba will be fine from what I can tell. Because of your bonding and his own massive chakra reserves for a ninken he's developing faster and reaching adult hood physically faster than his body is used to. Also his balance is off because he's growing a third tail."

"So he's fine?"

Smiling, "Yea he'll just have to stay here for observation for a week until he tail is done and he gets his bearings again." She pulled a small scroll from her vest. "Also Kakashi-sempai dropped this off a while ago saying it might come in handy." Tossing it to him. Catching it he looked through it a smile growing on his face. "What is it?"

Chuckling, "I think it's his way of trying to get on my good side." He looked up from it, "It's instructions for making a summoning contract."

She let out a light gasp, "The Hatake clan were able to make them for their ninken though it changed them a bit from what ours are with their training and whatever it did to them in the process." As they were speaking a large shadow came through the door, revealing a large one eyed hound.

"Naruto-san.. I think these four would be best left to your care." The hound spoke after sitting a basket down on the floor pulling the cover off revealing four fox kits looking less than a few weeks old. "I found them on the outskirts of the forest their mothers scent was faded badly."

Hana and the blond walked over, her hands glowing green she frowned, "They haven't eaten in a week.." Her brown eyes looked into bright blue.

"Fix them up and leave them with Shiruba, just bill me I'm going to prepare the seals that I gave to him. They should be strong enough once they're healthy." His face taking on a serious expression.

"I'll do it and don't worry about the bill. I set them on the same pills I gave him." She placed her hand on his shoulder collecting the basket.

/One month later/

Naruto was sitting in his apartment three sets of seals resting on the table along with an elaborate scroll the ink just drying with a faint red tinge to it. "Shiruba?"

The silver three tailed fox walked out followed by the four kits, "Yes Tou-san?"

"Did you finish bonding with them?"

"Of course, but I'm not sure why you wanted me to?" The kitsune titled his head.

"Just like you shared my chakra which I used a portion of the Kyubii's you shared it with them making them Kitsune bound under you." He motioned to the scroll. "Since it's done.."

" Otou-san... w-why need us?" One of the kits stuttered out.

This caused all of them to look at her. Naruto raised a brow. "Guess I won't need these seals.." He whispered. 'It has to be how potent my chakra was along with Kyubii's strengthened by the seals that I gave them for their own chakra.' He thought with a faint growing smirk. Shaking his head, "I'm glad I used the blood adoption seal," 'plus using their own blood to mix with the sealing ink.' He got up and smiled petting each of them. "I made a summoning contract. Shiruba you're going to be my boss summons and the kits will learn from you.. I'm not sure what all the changes will be but it's ready you and I just have to activated it then I have to sign it. And summon you."

The silver kitsune walked over placing all three tails on the massive sealing array,with a nod. Naruto placed his hands on bot sides as well. Both took on a glow of bright chakra as they pumped everything they had into the seal to compress it. The scroll began to glow with a golden fire as it shot out and struck all five of the kitsune seeping into them as it created a seal around them on the ground glowing in the same golden light. Naruto smiled before he felt his second reserve being tapped the red chakra surging through him filling the scroll with a flash causing the golden fire to burst outward before it was sucked back into the scroll. Leaving behind only Naruto who blinked before passing out, as the summoning contract altered and shifted burying the array into the weave of the scroll and just the Contract and details of the scroll behind with space for his name and future names to be placed.

The sensation of someone shaking him caused the blond to wake up on the floor. "Ugh.. my head."

"Mah.. what happened?"

Cracking open a single blue eye he recognized his sensei. "Why..?"

"You didn't send a clone today or yesterday." He shrugged, "So I was worried."

"Two days?!" He sat up only to grab his head. "I never take that long.. what ..."

Kakashi helped him to the chair, his single eye catching the scroll still open. The same eye widened seeing what it was and couldn't help the low whistle. "You made a summon scroll.." Letting out a chuckle, "That would explain it."

"Explain what?"

"If I would have to guess you compressed this with all of your chakra didn't you?"

Remembering vaguely the rush of red chakra he could only nod, "I even tapped into my other reserve..."

'Other reserve? He couldn't mean the Kyubii could he?' Shaking the thought from his mind. "Well you might want to sign it." Explaining what to do as it was more like one of the big three contracts than his, but he knew how to do it.

Narurto nodded bitting his left thumb he wrote his full name and pressed his finger prints next to it. "SO should we do this here?"

"I have the perfect place." Placing a hand on the blonds should they vanished appearing in a forest clearing. " I could tell you used my directions but you also added a bunch that I don't quite know so it's always best because of the changes that may or may not have happened."

Nodding he bit his thumb again and flashed through the handseals, "Summoning Jutsu: Shiruba!" His hand slamming into the ground causing a golden seal to spread out before he rose into the air under a cloud of smoke. Once it cleared it revealed a horse sized silver kitsune with three tails twisting behind it. The Uzumaki spiral in golden fur on it's forehead.

"Wow... Naruto is that you on my back?" The kitsune rumbled in a deeper voice.

"Shiruba?" He spoke flipping off the kitsune. Seeing his eyes were now a deep red, reflecting on his memory of the Kyubii from years ago.

"Yea. Seems there already was a Kitsune contract... though it was destroyed a long time ago.. but why did you wait three months to summon me?"

The two humans had the same thought, 'three months?' Shaking his head, "It's only been two days...wait this is a Time space jutsu...if there was already a contract.. then they must have a protected realm.. it may interfere with time differently..." He began to ramble.

A tail flicked out knocking him to the ground, "Seriously... but any way when we got there what ever happened cause me to be covered in red and golden chakra that connected me to all the other kitsune. Making me the boss technically because of the new contract, but I'm on the lower end of the power scale. But the elders have agreed to put me through the training after seeing what happened to me." Here he gave the look referring to the seals on him.

"How long is that going to take?"

Kakashi was curious, and was mentally taking this down to report to the Hokage. After all it's not every day a true summoning contract is made.. well remade.

"Shirato-sama says if I prove as talented as my first teacher I will be done in two years though I will still be weaker than some of the others."

The blond nodded, while doing the math in his head. "Well if the time difference stays the same.."

"Mah I don't think it works that way."

Turning to look at the silver haired man, "What do you mean?"

"Well Jaraiya-sama has the toad contract, and their 'home' has a time change like what Shiruba was explaining. Though it's not a constant but it fluxes. An hour there could be a day here or a day there could be months here." he explained.

Sighing the kitsune spoke, "The elders and I will just reverse summon you when my training is complete. They want to meet...you." His eyes traveled from Naruto's down to the where the Kyubii's seal rested.

A sad smile on his face Naruto nodded. "I'm going to miss you budy!" He wrapped his arms around Shiruba's neck.

"Me too Tou-san. Me too. But look on the bright side..I'm a true summon now so I'll just dispel if I get to injured." Here the fox definitely smirked, "But I'm going to make sure all the summons learn our fighting style so you don't have to worry about that. Just take care of yourself and I won't have to worry. But I need to get back."

Wiping a tear from his eye, "Sure thing... I'll just have to get stronger to make sure you don't slack off." He chuckled. Shiruba nodded before vanishing in a cloud of smoke again.

"Naruto I would suggest.. and I'm not telling you what to do here but I would suggest waiting on using your summons until Shiruba completes his training." He spoke softly.

Nodding, "Yea I guess you're right... and... I guess I'll start coming to meetings...and stuff as me.."

The elder jounin eye-smiled. "Good.. it means we can try and take a C-ranked mission now."

The blond raised a brow. "Why now?"

Shrugging, "I wasn't going to let the team go on one until you felt ready to actually come yourself. I know you have the memories of everything and Sasuke has started to change as well as Sakura."

"I know.. but I will expect you to respect my wishes about the Sharingan when he awakens it. Not that most of my jutsu can be used by him but any one that I use I've actually worked my ass off for."

Kakashi nodded, "I can't make promises to not copy your jutsu, but it will never be intentional. The eye copies any jutsu it sees when activated."

Sighing, "What about sealess or one handed seals?"

Shaking his head, "If there's no seals then it can't or most of the Uchiha would have been able to use the Rasengan of the Fourths." Shrugging, "as for single handed seals... only if they know how to use them, which Sasuke and I don't so it won't register to the eye."

Nodding, "Good..."

"Naruto... I owe you some explanations." He began talking about his time on Naruto's fathers team, and his own personal life . He spoke until the sun was setting and the rumbling of their stomachs was telling them food would no longer wait.

The blond had listened with a stoic expression at first, that slowly morphed into one of understanding if not a bit of respect for the man, and his own father. "I.." He choked, "I think I understand but if I lived in the past like that I probably would be trying to kill half the villagers. But... I will try and give Sasuke a chance... but I will not help him against Itachi-nii nor will I fight him.. I owe him to much for what he's done for me to try and kill him."

The jounin smiled, though it wasn't a happy one but a proud one. "I think your parents would be proud of you for that, I know I am.. and I won't hold it against you should we come to that."

"I guess that's the best I can get right now...See you tomorrow... Kakahsi-sensei.." He waved as he ran off through the trees.
