Chapter 18
Twenty-two Weeks after Kumo's attack...
Naruto and Iruka are sitting in a teashop in Whirlpool, Naruto drinking water and Iruka having tea.
"So Naruto, what's it like being the Nine-Tails?" asked Iruka calmly.
"Why do you ask? I thought everybody hated the Nine-Tails?" said Naruto looking at his former Academy teacher warily.
"Well you did help protect the village AS the Nine-Tails. What? I can't ask my favorite trouble-making student a simple question?"
"You want to know what it felt like? Here! Tailed-Beast Transformation!"
"Naruto wait! Not in-!"
*POOF!*
A cute little chibi version of Nine-Tails was sitting in Naruto's place and Iruka does a spit-take as all the girls in the teashop run over and hug Naruto to death while Kurama, inside the seal, is both laughing his head off and crying his eyes out.
"It's so funny! HAHAHAHA! But my image is ruined! *WAILS*"
Obito is walking outside the teashop and then he sees Naruto as a chibi nine-tails.
"CUTE! TOBI WANT TO HUG YOU AND SQUEEZE YOU AND PET YOU AND HUG YOU AND LOVE YOU!" cried Tobi busting through the glass.
"RUN NARUTO! HE'S CAUGHT THE 'ELMYRA SYNDROME'!"
Chibi Nine-Tails Naruto bolted from his spot as Tobi chased after him and it wasn't until dusk that Naruto lost his masked Sensei and returned to normal.
'Maybe you should help me with the transformations.' thought Naruto gloomily.
"FROM NOW ON I DO THE TRANSFORMATION BITS WHEN YOU WANT TO GO FULL NINE-TAILS, OKAY?!" yelled Kurama and then Naruto paled.
'Jiraya must NEVER find out about this!'
"Why?"
'Imagine if every girl in the world saw a cute little nine-tailed fox with the world's super pervert...'
"AAAAAHHHH! MY IMAGE WOULD BE SO RUINED I'D RATHER DIE!"
'So we have a deal?'
"Yes! Yes! That super pervert of a Toad Sage must never find out about your 'cute' Nine-Tails transformation!"
1 Hour Later; Training Ground 1B...
Naruto and Sasuke were training, exchanging jutsus, kunai, shuriken and both were panting heavily as the two stopped for a bit when Minato appeared in a yellow flash.
"Hey dad." said Naruto catching his breath.
"Hey. Listen, I've got to talk to Sasuke about something...could you...leave a second...and don't try to eavesdrop Naruto."
"Right!" said Naruto before he disappeared in a swirl of leaves.
"Alright Sasuke listen. A few weeks ago I got a visitor and well..." began Minato before crows surrounded the two and Sasuke got into a defensive stance.
Suddenly a swarm of crows flew at the two and when the birds disappeared Itachi was standing there.
"Hello little brother." said Itachi a small almost nonexistent smile on his face.
"You!" growled Sasuke pulling out a kunai and charging his older brother.
In a flash Itachi knocks the kunai out of Sasuke's hand and flicks him on the forehead.
"Forgive me Sasuke. That won't be necessary any longer."
"What do you mean? You killed our clan, our family, make me watch our parents get killed over and over again and tell me to grow my hate to kill you yet now you say its no longer necessary! WHY SHOULD I F**ING LISTEN TO YOU?!"
"Because I'm no longer a ninja from Hidden Leaf, but now of Whirlpool and I think you deserve to know the truth behind the Uchiha Massacre." said Itachi, his eyes turning into the Mangekyou Sharingan and Sasuke found himself in an illusion.
"Not again! Not again!" said Sasuke pulling out a kunai to stab himself but is stopped by Itachi.
"Wait. Watch and listen Sasuke." said Itachi pointing towards Danzo and the Third Hokage who are talking to a younger Itachi...
Meanwhile with Nagato...
Nagato tested out his limbs as he looked at the cybernetic enhancements given to him by Siren. His chakra rods in his back were now shorter but he could now move freely and he smiled, a thin one but a smile none the less. Suddenly he is tackled by an orange blur.
"Hi Uncle Nagato!" yelled Naruto in his ear.
"Did you have to yell in my ear Naruto?" asked Nagato clutching his now ringing ear.
"Sorry. Hey, want to train? I still need to master Full Nine-Tails form." asked Naruto.
"Why not have Obito or Siren teach you? They are your sensei's after all." said Nagato getting up.
"Yeah, but you're cooler."
"Flattery gets you nowhere, but I guess I could use some practice. But how about we do it AWAY from the village, hmm? Both of our abilities are pretty destructive."
"Alright. Race ya!"
Naruto runs off leaving Nagato stunned before he takes off after his nephew and the two arrive at the training area at the same time, both out of breath.
"You sure you still want to do this?" asked Nagato to his nephew.
"Yeah! Just give me a second." said Naruto panting heavily.
"Very well. Allow me to change."
Suddenly Yahiko's body is standing by Nagato and he puts his hand on the human puppet's forehead.
"Mind to Body Transfer Jutsu!"
Nagato's body then falls limp but is caught by the three-faced body and moved to a different location.
"What'd you do?" asked Naruto confused.
"I transferred my mind into Yahiko's body. My body is in a coma now but if I were to be killed in Yahiko's, my mind will return to my original body, in perfect condition...with maybe a little nausea."
"So in other words, you just copied Ino's clan Jutsu?"
"Somewhat...in a way I guess. No need to hold back. After all, we won't."
The other five Pains then appeared on the scene and got into ready stances.
"Okay!" said Naruto getting into a stance too.
'Kurama, now!"
"Tailed-Beast Transformation!"
A red-black cloud then engulfed Naruto and when it cleared he was in Full Nine-Tails form.
"Alright! Let's do this!" said Nine-Tailed Naruto.
"Very well. Almighty Push!" yelled Yahiko/Nagato.
*EXPLOSION*
END CHAPTER
I hope those who like Itachi like him becoming a good guy in this, even though he was from the beginning in a way, but anyway, hope you enjoyed this chapter.
Don't ask about Nagato doing the mind-transfer thing, it confuses me just thinking about it. Please don't ask.
Don't forget to read, review, follow, and/or favorite.
