Chapter4: History Lesson
Humans.
They were extremely annoying creatures but children, they were the worst by far.
And Uzumaki Naruto was proving to be especially high maintenance Sesshomaru had discovered.
Being around Rin most of the time made him assume other children were like her. However, Naruto was a different matter.
Dai-youkai like himself did not usually require sleep but after spending 12 hours with the boy and his true rambunctious personality revealed it self, Sesshomaru desperately needed repose.
Listening to anymore of the boy's endless talking would make his ears bleed he was sure of it.
His sensitive ears had already taken enough torture from Jaken's awful snoring last night.
"Ramen, ramen where are you ramen? let me come and eat you ramen!" Naruto sang loudly over and over again.
Sesshomaru was thankful Rin was sleeping peacefully on Au-Un for if she were awake she probably would have joined in too.
"BOY! Just shut up!" Jaken squalled angrily hitting Naruto on the head with his staff.
Sesshomaru for once agreed with the kappa.
"Itai! What was that for?!"
"For being stupid and loud, see look you're annoying Sesshomaru-Sama!" Jaken answered back.
A small pebble hit the back of Jaken's head and he turned to shout at whoever had thrown it. But instead was facing Sesshomaru.
"S-sesshomaru-Sama?!"
"Cease your bickering at once." The inu-youkai commanded and turned to Naruto
"And you, stop singing." The blonde boy instead of shaking in fear like Jaken grumbled almost reluctantly.
"Fine." The dai-youkai narrowed his eyes. It seemed the boy was getting too relaxed around him. He wouldn't accept such informal behaviour from anyone let alone a child. Naruto needed to be taught proper decorum.
"Boy, didn't your parents teach you any manners?!" Jaken squawked.
Sesshomaru was positive he saw a flash of hurt on Naruto's face but a second later it was gone instead a look of fury crossed his face.
A sharp electric blue glare was fixed on the imp.
"What do you know you stupid old frog! Don't you dare talk about my parents!" He shouted back defensively, anger dominating his voice.
Jaken was too taken aback at the sudden outburst to say anything so he wisely decided to keep his mouth shut.
Sesshomaru could only guess the boy had a bad upbringing and was unwilling to talk about his past.
"Just leave me alone.." Naruto murmured despondently.
Studying the whiskers on his fox mask seemed much more interesting than bringing himself to look up at them. The young boy had never known his parents. Hokage-jiji only said they had died in the Kyuubi attack 6 years ago. He had always felt so lonely seeing children happily holding hands with their parents coming home from school taking everything for granted.
Naruto wondered why he didn't have someone to hold his hand like that, to pick him up and tell him he was loved. He had always wanted someone to make him laugh, to push him on the swings and make all those meanies go away.
Coming home to an empty house everyday made him feel...unwanted. So when Jaken had asked that question, it felt like he had dropped a ton of bricks on him.
There was a pregnant silence as they walked until Rin slowly stirred a few moments later.
"W-what's going on?" She questioned concerned seeing Naruto's washed out facial expression.
"Oh Rin-chan, you're awake!" Naruto smiled his previous mood dissipating almost instantly. Rin nodded back at him smiling. The small group were walking on a cliff side and below them was pebbled ground and a stream running through.
"Oh water!" Rin cried as if she hadn't drank in days. She jumped of Au-Un and began running to the small stream.
Jaken groaned.
"Rin! Don't just go running off!" He called but to no avail.
Sesshomaru stopped, seeing his ward running towards the water source and then turned his head as his newest follower ran after Rin as well.
"Hey! Wait for me!"
"What do they think they are doing? We don't have time for this!"Jaken reasoned
"Why? Do you have somewhere to be Jaken?" Jaken quickly shook his head in disagreement, his green skin paled.
"Why O-of course not S-Sesshomaru-Sama!" Jaken stammered sweating nervously. He was shocked beyond words,
'Did Sesshomaru-Sama just make a joke?! ' Jaken was shaken but could only gulp and keep quiet after that.
Rin ran down happily pulling out her wooden water canteen and began collecting the flowing water.
"Wow! I'm really thirsty!" The young girl spoke between gulps of the refreshing liquid.
Naruto came running towards her at full speed practically landing himself in the stream.
"Woah!" He shouted steadying himself by waving his arms in circular motion.
"Here, want some?" Rin offered wiping her mouth.
"Sure!" After a few gluggs of water, Naruto leaned over to refill the container only to be splashed with a small wave of water which drenched his perky hair. He pouted.
"Hey! What was that for?!" Naruto shouted but not a hint of anger was in his voice the brown haired girl just giggled and splashed some more.
Rin had never really had any friends around her age to play with and most of the time she got bored. And after travelling with demons for a few years it didn't feel slightly weird to say her only friends were demon.
But now she had someone to play with and from what she knew of him, he was stupid and hot tempered but funny and very talkative.
They could come to be very good friends.
...
Sesshomaru had walked down to see what the problem was only to find them laughing and playing with water.
"I suggest you two stop messing around and do something useful!" The green imp lectured from behind Sesshomaru's leg.
"Wash your clothing boy." Sesshomaru commanded. Naruto looked confused at first but then remembered the back of his tee-shirt was red with blood.
"Oh right."
The inu-youkai's nose flared. The smell of the blood was strangely not completely unbearable and it was as if he had recognized it somewhere before but he knew he had not seen the boy in his life.
Naruto slowly removed the shirt and Rin placed it in the water holding it by the sleeve watching with curiosity as the water turned a more brownish colour. She rubbed it making sure no trace of red was left then handed it back to Naruto who squeezed it removing excess water.
Sesshomaru examined Naruto's back but not a scratch, a cut or a bruise was in was nothing but soft unblemished skin which was impossible especially for a human to have healed so quickly and only further proved his fox demons existence.
"Sesshomaru-Sama? W-what are you doing?" Rin questioned.
Yes it was quite odd seeing the daiyokai crouched and staring intently at Naruto's back as if he was looking for something but it was quite obvious there was nothing there.
Rin snickered obviously finding the situation quite humourous while Jaken openly gaped clearly shocked.
Sesshomaru stood up.
The boy was actually quite healthy and as much as he tried to convince the dai-youkai he was starving, the blonde did not seem malnourished in the least.
Naruto waved the shirt about in the air trying to dry it a bit.
"Done!" The blonde announced holding the top which sported his clan's symbol proudly up in the air with a wide trademark grin.
The boy was putting the damp tee-shirt over his head when Sesshomaru stopped him.
"You will catch a cold if you wear that wet boy." Sesshomaru warned.
Naruto would be no use to him with pneumonia the dai-youkai told himself. The wind whipped by and Naruto hugged himself.
"But im cold!"
"It will make you even colder."
If it came to it he could always revive the boy but he could always go to a village and buy him some clothes before it came to that. He decided he preferred the latter. He saw Rin shivering from the corner of his eye he guessed the young girl could do with something warmer too.
"We shall stop by a village to get you both warmer attire." Sesshomaru stated.
"Yay! New clothes!" Rin jumped up cheerfully. " Arigatou Sesshomaru-Sama!"
Naruto on the other hand didn't know what to say. Nobody had cared enough to buy him clothes before, well apart from Jiji who sometimes bought him the odd tee-shirt or pair of shoes but otherwise nobody would bother.
Sesshomaru in no way spoiled Rin, he made her find her own food and when old enough he would teach her to fend for herself, he intended to do exactly the same for Naruto if not teach him how to fight earlier.
They carried on down the cliff path with Rin skipping happily beside them humming a tune.
"So Naruto-Kun, what was your village like?" Rin asked not expecting Naruto to look so downcast. She frowned. Maybe he was homesick.
"Sorry Naruto-Kun! Rin didn't mean to upset you!" The seven year old apologized.
"It's fine. It's just, Konoha-" The blue-eyed boy held his kitsune mask in an iron grip. Sesshomaru's golden eyes looked over the tension in the young boy. He obviously didn't want to talk about it.
"Most of Konoha hated me."
It was left unsaid that he was homeless most nights because he couldn't afford to pay the extra rent they charged him. Or that he was attacked because of something he never even knew existed.
"But there were some people like Hokage-jiji, Ayame-nee, Old man Teuchi and Iruka-Sensei who didn't hate me. T-they believed I could be Hokage!"
"Hokage?" Rin questioned. There were so many unfamiliar words in his home village.
"The leader of the leaf-village. You have to be really strong to be Hokage and I want to get really really strong so I can be Hokage and people can respect me!" The boy declared spunkily pointing his thumb at his chest.
"I'll believe in you!" She smiled. "I think you'll be a great leader!" Rin cheered.
Sesshomaru looked on at him his face expressionless but he stared up to the bright blue sky in thought remembering the first time he met his hanyo brother Inuyasha.
...
Flashback
That smell, there was no mistaking it. He could sniff it even if those ears atop his head were not enough proof.
It was this boy, this boy was it.
It didn't matter how it was phrased it meant the same to Sesshomaru.
This hanyo, this thing was the proof of his father's betrayal. Bloods that should never have been mixed were running through his veins.
The boy had been running after a bouncing ball and ran straight into the dai-youkai and promptly landed on his bottom. After a second Inuyasha snapped out of his daze from falling and looked up.
"Woah, you look so cool!" The hanyo awed looking up at the tall demon warrior.
Sesshomaru however couldn't care less what the half blood thought of him and regarded the silver haired pup with cold eyes.
The amber eyed little boy could have sworn the temperature in the atmosphere had lowered about ten degrees. With the flick of Sesshomaru's index finger the hanyo's red ball behind him was in shreds. It was then Inuyasha made the mistake of looking into his eyes, they were like the frozen sun.
Inuyasha tried to back away but it seemed he wasn't getting any further from this scary man. Breath hitched in his throat as he scrambled to his feet.
"Go back to where you belong, foolish little hanyo, live your wretched life in fear of this Sesshomaru for I am of true inu-youkai blood." (A/N: Does this remind you of anything? X3)
Inuyasha trembled with fear.
"How pitiful." Sesshomaru spoke no emotions visible on his face. His half brother who was already scared to death stood there unblinking looking like he was about to cry.
The inu-youkai turned to walk off when he heard a small voice from behind.
"Y-you just wait and see," Sesshomaru stopped and turned his head. Amusement written on his face.
"Yeah! I'll become strong! Stronger than you then- then everyone will respect me! Ya hear me?!" The dai-youkai saw determination in this amber eyes but just scoffed and continued walking.
"What a nuisance."
Flashback
...
He saw it, Sesshomaru saw the same fire in this boy's ardent eyes as what he had seen in Inuyasha that day.
Sesshomaru pushed away the memory to the back of his mind. He would never say it but he almost regretted what he had said to the Hanyo back then maybe it was because Inuyasha was proven right.
The dai-youkai sniffed the suddenly foul air and he smelt his hanyo brother, the human miko and their other companions about a half a kilometre north-east. An annoyed expression crossed his face, he definitely didn't want to bump into them. He could already see their figures walking up the hill towards them.
They were the last people he wanted to see right now or for a matter of fact ever.
He would have turned to go in another direction to avoid them crossing paths, but a voice made him stop in his tracks.
"Hey! Sesshomaru-Sama, Rin-chan!" The dai-youkai resisted the urge to roll his eyes, it was that woman again, the annoying miko that was too irritating for her own good.
"Ugh, it's them!" Jaken moaned.
Rin giggled and waved back.
"Kagome-nee! Inuyasha-baka!"
Meanwhile Naruto looked entirely confused.
"Who are they?"
...
Inuyasha bristled at the nickname.
"What did that little brat just say? Sesshomaru ought to teach her some manners!"
Kagome just chuckled and Inuyasha glared at her.
"What'cha laughing at?!"
"It kinda suits you you know!"
"Why you little wench-!"
"Osuwari!" The inu youkai unexpectedly hit the ground face first. The ground shook from the heavy impact.
The houshi walking beside them just sighed as if someone being magically pushed into the ground was a normal occurrence.
"Inuyasha I really feel for you." The monk sympathised but only walked around his flat form while the young miko grumbled.
"Not you too Miroku."
The demon taijiya rolled her beautiful brown eyes before crossing her arms over her chest.
A small cream coloured creature jumped off the demon-slayer's shoulder and bound forth toward Sesshomaru.
"Kirara!"
...
"Huh? What is that?" Naruto blinked as he saw some kind of animal with three tails running up to him. "Is it a dog?" The blonde boy asked stupidly peering at the small thing running toward them.
Jaken moved back and eyed the demon animal with dislike and slight fear but that was to be expected of an undersized demon like Jaken. After all, the creature could be small and cute one minute and then become huge and fierce the next.
Rin shook her head and laughed.
"Naruto-kun I swear you can be so air-headed sometimes!" Naruto scratched his head and frowned. "It's Kirara, Sango-chan's demon cat."
"D-demon cat?!" The blonde stammered. He had a bad experience with the cats of Konoha. Cats in Konoha hated him, they hissed at Naruto and attempted to claw his face off every chance they got. He gulped as he thought of what a demon cat could do to him.
Rin kneeled to embrace the cat but surprisingly she ran straight past the small girl and pattered up to the terrified blonde.
Naruto backed away a bit and Rin seemed to find it hilarious how the audacious boy was scared of a tiny cat.
"Naruto-kun! Kirara isn't going to hurt you!" She assured between a fit of giggles.
"But it's a demon cat! It's going to kill me!" He screamed out over dramatically.
The cat only blinked questioningly and cocked her head to one side.
But then much to his shock and astonishment, the three-tailed animal stood on her hind legs and began pawing at his left leg and rubbing against it as if she knew him very well.
"W-what?!"
...
The nine tailed fox huffed boredly. He had nothing to do other than watch the childish jinchuuriki complain about his stupid ramen all day long through said brat's mind-scape which was of course irritating enough but then things suddenly got interesting when he sensed the unusual presence of a human that almost made the virulent fox demon strangely nostalgic.
'A miko?'
Blood red eyes were wide in indisputable shock.
It had been over 300 years since the fox had felt the type of pure energy she was emitting.
Crimson orbs flashed and the chakra beast growled and grit his jaws in anger.
This had to be a joke. Who did these stupid fools think they were messing with the great Kyuubi no youko? He would crush them to bits!
And anyway whoever this human miko was, there was no way it could be her.
Through the Uzumaki's mind-scape, the Kyuubi could see lots of things but the fox believed nothing he saw would be anything of value or consequence to him, yet he was proven wrong.
This woman he sensed was not only a miko but had the same aura as his mother.
(A/N: So...Can you guess who yet?! XD)
The kyuubi said nothing but the way his nine tails were moving behind him hinted his wavering emotions. He closed his scarlet eyes and tamed the swishing of his tails hanging on to the thought that it wouldn't be long until his questions would be answered.
...
"Inuyasha." The regal looking dai-youkai addressed wrinkling his nose disdainfully.
"I see you have gotten no further in your search for Naraku, pathetic." The half demon only sneered.
"Well neither have you, Sessho-bastard." Sesshomaru scoffed.
"I have no means of looking for Naraku, he is useless to me. If you are searching for him you are doing a pitiful job." The dog demon's hand went to his sheathe at his waist.
"What was that ice-prick, you wanna fight?!" The hanyo challenged. A soft feminine hand stopped him.
"Inuyasha! What do you think you are doing, making fights with Sesshomaru know you can't win!" The miko hissed fiercely attempting to whisper but it could easily be overheard even without Sesshomaru's enhanced hearing capabilities.
"Hn," He briefly acknowledged. "The girl is actually right, for once."
"Gah! Kagome!" The youngest dog demon whined at the human girl like a spoiled child.
The girl named Kagome rolled her blue eyes at his puerile attitude.
The miko then noticed a cute whiskered face with a head of blonde spiky hair staring at them curiously from behind Sesshomaru's right leg.
"And just who is this?" She asked as a gentle smile graced her lips.
The little boy blushed after being spotted by the beautiful young woman and shyly hid behind Sesshomaru who didn't really seem to mind.
Inuyasha spotted the boy and snorted.
"So now your babysitting children, you should open your own nursery! Call it Sessho-bastard's baby ca-"
"Inuyasha! Osuwari!"
"WHAM."
Naruto watched in shock and almost horror as the man known as Inuyasha's face was planted into the ground.
These people had very strange superhuman powers.
"Hey don't worry I won't hurt you," Kagome reassured coming a bit closer and holding a hand out to Naruto.
But after what she just did to Sesshomaru's half brother he wasn't so sure.
Though her smile did look pure and earnest not like the pseudo friendliness the mask shop owner possessed.
The blonde looked at the hand she held out and then looked back to Sesshomaru as if not knowing whether to trust the strangely clad teenager. Sesshomaru looked back at him but his impassive face gave nothing away.
The dai-youkai was telling him to choose.
Something inside him was telling him to trust the girl so without a second thought, he did.
Kagome smiled as he took her hand. She crouched to his height and saw Kirara on his shoulder.
"Ah, so that's where Kirara went. I guess she really likes you!" The currently purring demon cat rubbed up against his face with adoration.
"What's your name?" Naruto gave her a flash of his trademark grin.
"Naruto Uzumaki at your service!"
"What a strange name!" Inuyasha looked unimpressed.
"Che, isn't that the name of the stuff in ramen?"
"R-ramen? Did you just say RAMEN?!" Naruto babbled running up to the hanyo completely forgetting he didn't know him.
"Yeah, what's the big deal kid?" The crimson clad dog demon questioned with annoyance. He already didn't like this boy so why would his bastard of a brother chose to have him around?
"Youeatramen?Doyouhaveramen?Pleasesayyouhaveramen!" The blonde gabbled overexcitedly his hands clutched together pleadingly.
Jaken face-palmed and sweatdropped.
Now this is how the great Sesshomaru-Sama would be portrayed thanks to the noisy brat begging for food from his enemies.
Kagome only chuckled.
"And how could I deny a cute little thing like you Naruto-chan!" The miko girl pinched his whisker-marked cheeks muttering about how kawaii he was not that the boy himself minded the attention. Naruto somehow felt relaxed around this girl and he didn't know why.
...
Saying Sango was slightly surprized was an understatement, dumbfounded might have been a better word. Her life-long companion and fighting partner was no longer on her shoulder but instead purring happily on this strange little boy's shoulder as if he was a long-lost kin and she was welcoming him home. It was very odd behaviour coming from a loyal cat like Kirara.
As for the fox demon Shippo, he wasn't taking to the blonde boy too well. Kagome was meant to be his mother not anyone else's. And no one was going to take her away from him especially not this Naruto. But Shippo had to admit there was something strange about the boy, like he was demon too but at the same time not a demon. It was as if he had something restraining his demon. A fox demon if his senses were correct and the demon kit didn't like that one bit.
And Miroku on the other hand was more amused by the blue eyed boy and the fact Inuyasha's stoic half brother would care for such a loud and energetic child.
The reason baffled the monk but he could still only chuckle at the thought.
...
Kagome took off her big yellow backpack and unzipped it then began rummaging through it until she found her desired item.
"Here you go Naruto-chan enjoy!"
"T-thank you so much Kagome-nee, you're the best!"
Maybe the reason he was so comfortable around the girl was because she reminded him of Ayame-nee-chan back in Konoha and instead of a feeling of homesickness, Naruto felt happy.
"No problem!" She replied ruffling the boys hair. "One for you too Rin-chan and off course Jaken and Sesshomaru-Sama if you would like a-"
Jaken shook his head defiantly while Sesshomaru scoffed lightly.
"There is no need to lower this Sesshomaru to hanyo standards, I do not eat what you humans call food." He spoke highly. Inuyasha growled.
"Shut up Sessho-bastard! The wench was only offering!" said 'wench' rolled her eyes and sighed. Inuyasha was the only person she knew who in a sentence would insult the person he was trying to defend.
"Just- Nevermind," the young girl dismissed waving her hands trying to stop the upcoming argument.
"Anyway, where did you find Naruto Sesshomaru-Sama?" Kagome questioned smoothly changing the topic.
Sesshomaru thought for a moment. If he told the inquisitive priestess, she might know something important about Naruto after all she was supposedly from another world herself.
"He came through a portal I opened with tensegia." He stated flatly.
The whole group looked surprized.
"Really?" Sango gaped "So he's from another dimension just like Kagome!"
"Oh," Kagome seemed noticeably less shocked as if she had been expecting it. "Where was this portal?"
"East-western territories."
The monk frowned.
"A barrier in the east-western territories how strange," Miroku murmured aloud.
"Why is that houshi?" Jaken questioned the man.
"Well you see, there was a myth I was told years ago that a great man with superhuman powers called the sage of six paths came to this world through a portal like you just mentioned, he was from another world where there was always war and no demons existed. He came to create nine tailed beasts that each had a part of the souls of the jewel, arimitama (courage), nigimitama (friendship), kushimitama (wisdom) and sakimitama (love) giving the demons emotion and judgement." Miroku paused for effect.
"And it had been said when those nine demons are put together the shikon no tama is reborn and turns into the juubi- a mindless beast with ten tails that is stronger than all the tailed demons combined.
But, it can be seen as real or it can be seen as no more than a fictional representation of what would happen to someone in control of the shikon." The monk explained expertly.
"And how is that relevant to anything?! Don't waste Sesshomaru-Sama's time!" Jaken squawked obviously not understanding.
Miroku sighed. The imp wasn't giving him a chance to explain.
"Because Naruto may be from the world of the Rikudo Sennin."
The Uzumaki hummed thoughtfully as if he was trying to remember something.
'Sage of the six paths? What did Iruka-sensei say about him again? ' He scratched his head. Naruto was a sucker for remembering things especially when they turned out to be important.
...
Flashback
"NARUTO! Pay attention!" Iruka's voice boomed around the classroom making said boy jump.
"W-wha-?!"
"Naruto, what did I just say?" The chuunin level teacher asked
"Um, Naruto pay attention?" The class laughed at him.
"Before that!" Naruto blinked, he didn't know and he decided honesty was best. He shrugged.
"Dunno." The class erupted into another fit of giggles.
"Class, be quiet!" Iruka shouted and the room went silent.
"I said that the sage of the six paths was-" Naruto zoned out as he stared out the window at the Hokage mountainside wondering what prank to pull today. It was not like he would ever need to know about the stupid sage of six paths in a serious situation anyway.
Flashback
...
"I can't remember what Iruka sensei said about him, I think he was the one who created chakra."
"Chakra? What's that?" Inuyasha asked crossing his arms.
"You-you don't know?" The blonde asked with a shocked expression.
"What is it?" Kagome asked curiously. Even the stoic Sesshomaru looked inquisitive
"It's like energy, um you can sense it sometimes." Naruto sweatdropped, he wasn't very good at explaining things. Sango frowned not really getting it.
"So it's like ki?" Naruto just nodded not knowing what ki was but trying to save explaining something he didn't even know about.
...
Flashback-(A/N: Its not really a flashback but I don't know what to call it)
The heavily wounded dai-youkai trudged through the forest, blood ran from his fractured left arm to his claws dripping onto the snowy white ground His stomach was punctured through despite his heavy metal armour. The inu no taisho knew he had met his match fighting Ryukotsusei and now he was almost too injured to walk. After speaking to his eldest son Sesshomaru, he felt disheartened about what he was going to be leaving behind when he died. He should have raised Sesshomaru better when had a chance and now he was paying the price for it.
If he had one wish for his son it was that he learnt what true power was by having something to protect. It was something he'd regretted not understanding sooner.
The inu-youkai leader of the west leaned against a tree dizziness sweeping in. He coughed and blood sprayed on the ground. This was it he wasn't going to make it, to Izayoi, when she needed him most.
"I'm sorry Izayoi, " The silver haired demon muttered as if hoping she could hear.
Then he saw a bright white light come from a few metres away and if it was an enemy he might as well have already been dead.
Seconds later it ended and someone who appeared to be a demon with pale blue skin and white hair with long beard. He had strange purple eyes and wore a cloak the same color of his skin with six magatama symbols showing but what was most strange about the demon was that he had a red eye in the middle of his forehead and carried a shakujo which monks carried.
All in all, the man looked very strange.
The man turned to look at him and the inu-no taisho did not flinch.
"You are injured." The strange man pointed out.
The dai-youkai said nothing, he was injured it was obvious but what this man intend to do?
"Who are you, why are you here?" The demon asked weakly narrowing his golden eyes in suspicion.
"My name is Hagoromo Otsutsuki I am the Sage of Six paths. I am from another world and I can heal you."
Of course being the proud dog demon he was would have said no if it were not for the awful pain he was in.
"Fine." He bit out. He would get to Izayoi if it was the last thing he did even if it meant accepting a stranger's help.
The healing only took a few seconds and was done by the man placing his right hand on his chest and muttering 'heal'.
Being healed felt strangely warming like some sort of energy he been pumped into him and it was as if he had never fought Ryukotsusei.
"I must find a way to repay you for your aid."
"Hm, That is fine. What is your name? " The sage of six paths requested
"Inu no taisho."
"Well there is one thing I would like to know," The dai-youkai kept a stoic face
"The whereabouts of the shikon no tama."
"The southern territories i've heard." The dog demon answered.
"I see,"
The inu no taisho thanked Hagoromo and promised to repay his kindness one day and thus a promise was to be fulfilled.
Flashback.
...
No one knew that the small blonde boy standing before them was the reincarnation of the Rikudo Sennin and of course neither did the boy himself.
...
A/N: Hi, I'm not sure how to feel about this chapter because it's quite complicated.
No matter how many times I read this back I'm not sure if this chapter makes sense put together with the rest of the story so I'm gonna explain it.
If you haven't already guessed Kurama's mother is Midoriko and this is because even though she is not alive when the Sage of the Six paths visits the feudal era, her spirit is inside the four souls of the jewel which are placed inside each of the bijuu.
Sesshomaru is born way before Kurama is created and Inuyasha just before Kurama.
The Inu no taisho repaid the sage of the six paths by opening the portal for his reincarnation aka. Naruto with Tenseiga.
I hope that helped if any of you were confused but if you want to know something else leave a review and your question will be answered in the next chapter.
(No flames please)
Anyway thanks for reading and I hope you liked this flashback filled chapter.
If I don't update by next week it'll be the week after.
Until next time, Rosethorn50
