A.N. Sorry this one took a bit longer than normal, I had a hard time deciding exactly how to go with this one. Anyway, a few more things.
1. If you want to suggest a girl or two, that's absolutely fine, but I will need to know what her part in the story was originally. I'm not asking for a paragraph long explanation, although you could give me one if you feel like it, just a little info as to how the girl entered the story.
2. Sorry this took so long, I don't have a set schedule for uploading, and I will not write if I don't have the will or inspiration to do so. I have the very firm belief that writing can't be forced, it has to flow naturally. This also means that it could be weeks before I upload again, or it could be 2 days. Whichever way my muse works at the time, I suppose.
3. Again, sorry if this is to short, but I didn't want to make this chapter drag longer then I felt was necessary. Either way, Naruto's training will mostly be a time skip, except for a few notable moments.
I've got nothing else. Let's go!

Chapter 3: New home and meeting the Kyuubi?
45 minutes after the attack: Kohonakagure's Hokage Office
Naruto had just finished explaining what had happened to him to the old man, not mentioning the people he had met. Hiruzen was upset, yet not surprised.
"Well Naruto, I'm sorry that you were sent away from the orphanage, so I will be giving you your own home in another part of town." Hiruzen said sadly, knowing that Naruto would most likely be attacked again. He decided to try to have ANBU protecting Naruto when they could.
"Ok old man!" Naruto happily chirped, knowing that his friends would keep him company.
Hiruzen chuckled, glad to see that Naruto didn't seem to be too affected by the experience. "Come with me Naruto, I'll take you to your new apartment."
15 minutes later: Apartment complex room
"Here we are. Now then Naruto, you will be staying here from now on. I'll drop by later with a bit more furniture for you in the morning. For now, just try to get some sleep." Hiruzen said, before walking out and closing the door behind him.
Naruto smiled before running to the bathroom and taking care of his needs, before walking back out and laying on the bed.
"Everyone? Are you there?" Naruto spoke quietly, hoping his friends would answer.
"Hello Naruto-kun, its Celestea, I want you to focus on being here with us, you should be able to get here that way." Celestea spoke gently.
Naruto closed his eyes and tried to focus, before feeling something strange, almost a kind of weightlessness, before he opened his eyes and found himself back in the living room his friends used.
"Hi everyone." Naruto smiled happily, noticing everyone was in the room as he remembered.
"Hey runt. Its time you go meet Inzala. A word of warning, she isn't exactly happy to be here with you, or us for that matter, so try not to upset her." Infernum spoke calmly, knowing Naruto would try to make Inzala his friend, regardless of whether or not she wanted to be.
"Ok, Yavio said she was in her room before, is it one of those weird doors I saw before?" Naruto tilted his head slightly, his eyes squinting as he tried to remember everything. Celestea had to restrain herself from cuddling him from how adorable she thought he looked.
"Yes, now go to the door with the fox head symbol on it, make sure to knock, and wait for her to answer before going in." Haviair spoke smoothly, wanting Naruto to be as proper and courteous as possible to keep Inzala from having any reason to dislike him.
"Ok!" Naruto cheerfully walked out of the room, over to the door with the fox head insignia, and knocked. A few moments passed before a calm and melodic "Enter" was heard, after which Naruto pulled open the door and walked inside.
Inzala's Mindscape
Naruto saw a lush, massive forest around him, the trees' canopy towering far above him. He walked forward slowly, awed by the beauty of the forest, before seeing something in front of him. A small shrine was there, with a fox's head painted on the top of it. Naruto approached and felt a nudge in the back of his mind. He looked up at the fox head, getting the feeling of something far more important was there, before bowing. "Inzala-sama."
To say Inzala was surprised wold be putting it lightly. She had expected this kid to run into her room rudely, making a huge amount of noise in the process, then accuse her of trying to slaughter his pathetic little village. Instead, he had respectfully walked in, remained silent and bowed to her, even if a bit unknowingly, and spoke to her calmly. This simply wasn't something she was prepared for. She choose to appear in front of Naruto, sitting on top of the shrine.
"So, you must be the child everyone is so worried about. I fail to see what is so important about you." Inzala said arrogantly, curious as to whether or not the kid would try to snap at her.
"As do I Inzala-sama." Naruto answered calmly, knowing that he should be respectful. Inzala was rather impressed all things considered.
"Well, at least you are respectful and understand your place better then most mortals. I suppose there are worse humans I could have been sealed into," Inzala said grudgingly, happy with her container.
` "Thank you for the compliment, Inzala-sama. If I may ask, what do you mean 'sealed into'?" Naruto questioned, wanting to learn about the strange woman.
"Hmph, well brat, the others and myself are currently being held inside you, like the way a glass holds water. We will explain more as you grow older, ok?" Inzala spoke calmly.
"Ok Inzala-chan," Naruto spoke happily, smiling at his newest 'friend'.
Inzala's eye twitched, not believing what the kid just called her. "Also, we will all be teaching you different things so that you grow up strong. And don't call me Inzala-chan you little brat."
Naruto smiled, knowing his friend wouldn't mind. "Ok Inzala-chan."
Inzala sighed, knowing that the others would throw a fit if she did anything the kid. "Whatever, now get out of my space. First you'll sleep, then we start training."
Naruto smiled and waved before fading from view, happy that his friends wanted to help him be strong.
