"We should head to the wolves. There are always wolves that train. I can show you the jutsus of the three areas with their help and you can practice the jutsus. Beforehand, I will show you the kage bunshin no jutsu. Then you can create clones for the training, one clone for each area and one clone to send to the library. In the library are books about the body of humans, Lunarians and wolves. It is easier to channel the chakra, if you know about the composition. In addition, you will save chakra." said Akira and looked at Usagi.

"Hai." said Usagi.

Now

The following week, they established a daily routine. Usagi and Naruto trained the complete day. Jiraya used the days to investigate about bijūs and Akatsuki. At dinner, they talked about their day. Usagi and Naruto told the others about their progress in the training and Jiraya told them about the information that he has found. After dinner, Jiraya went back to the library. Usagi and Naruto sat together and shared stories of their life or played games.

Naruto learned to use wind chakra in that week. Kichiro showed him several easy wind jutsus, which Naruto mastered. Jiraya and Kichiro discussed the next steps for Naruto. They decided that Naruto should train to combine the rasengan with wind chakra.

Thanks to the kage bunshin no jutsu, Usagi mastered most of the holy chakra based jutsus in that week. During the training she got to know most of the wolves. On the second day, she started to train with Akito. The first step was to synchronize their actions to enable the combination of jutsus. Akira realized that Usagi was distracted and couldn't use her complete power. On the third day, Akira talked to Usagi about her observation. She suggested using a holy chakra technique on her to ease the grief and to heal her soul. Usagi agreed and Akira used the technique. The result was amazing. Usagi felt better immediately. She did remember the losses, but the grief was gone. She could concentrate on the training and her progress increased. In addition, Usagi realized that she has got empathy. She told Akira about it. Akira explained that Usagi gained empathy, as she had become Sailor Cosmos. The keeper assumed that her grief blocked the ability.

Usagi found Naruto in the garden. He was sitting on a bench in the garden and was watching the earth. She went to the bench and sat beside him.

"In my first life, I loved that view. In my free time I often sat on a bench and watched the earth. I was fascinated. Sometimes I went to earth and visited the gardens of Elysion. It wasn't allowed, but somehow I needed to go."

Usagi was smiling. Naruto couldn't take his eyes from her.

"The last days, you seemed happier. You smiled more than before."

"After the battle, I was alone and the memories haunted me. To come in this dimension, was a good decision. Jiraya and you helped me a lot and I started to heal. As I found out that some of the Lunarians survived, I was ecstatic. A few days ago, Akira used a technique to heal my soul. It eased my grief and sped up the healing."

"That's great."

"It helped me a lot. In addition, I realized that I gained empathy as Sailor Cosmos. But the grief blocked this ability."

"Empathy?! What's that?"

"Empathy is the ability to sense the feelings of someone."

"Sugoi!"

"The empathy can be overwhelming, but I improve to handle it. Anyway, the empathy helped me to see the world with new eyes. The feelings of the wolves are pure. They live for the moment and it is great to bathe in their feelings… I can sense the feelings of the kyūbi and you. The kyūbi is not evil. His main feelings are hate, betrayal, grief and resignation. I think that I can help him, but I need some information beforehand. From you I can sense some grief. I'd like to use Akira's technique to ease it."

"Try the technique, I'm curious."

"Stand up, that way it will be easier for me to exclude the kyūbi."

Naruto and Usagi stood up and turned to each other. Usagi laid both hands on his heart and her hands started to glow silver. She channeled the silver chakra into Naruto. Warmth spread in Naruto and he felt loved. After a few minutes, Usagi stopped the chakra flow.

"Usa-chan, that was incredible. I feel happy and loved. I still have the memories of the manhandling and social exclusion. But it doesn't affect me any longer. Thank you."

Naruto caressed her cheek and Usagi leaned in his hand. He captured her lips softly. After a few moments, she kissed him back. Thereupon, Naruto hugged her. As Usagi realized what they are doing, her eyes widened. She stopped the kiss and leaned her forehead on his chest. Usagi was overwhelmed. She could feel the growing love of Naruto for her and it felt good. She bathed in this feeling and thought her situation.

Naruto stroked softly her back and waited patiently. 'Damn!' He hadn't planned to kiss her. But the healing felt so good and he couldn't resist. He hadn't met such a girl before. Usagi had captured his attention completely. She was gorgeous inside and outside. Since their arrival on the moon the silver in her eyes and hairs spread and increased only her inhuman beauty. She was pure-hearted. Usagi was simple his dream girl. Naruto couldn't understand any longer his previous crush on Sakura. She had never acknowledged him, but on the contrary Usagi did. She listened to him. Naruto felt at ease with her. Naruto could understand that she was confused. He hadn't wanted to push her, as she lost her finance recently. Usagi stirred in his arms and interrupted his thoughts. He looked at her and was captured by her eyes. She caressed his cheek.

"Ruto-kun, I need more time. I'm"

Naruto closed her mouth with a finger.

"Shh, take so much time as you need."

She was conflicted about the situation. On the one hand, she wanted to stay in his arms and live in the moment. On the other hand, she felt that she cheated on Mamoru. Usagi stayed in Naruto's arms for several minutes. Then she kissed his cheek and stepped back. She went back to the building. As she reached the door, she turned and smiled at him. Naruto watched her retreat and smiled back. She went in the building. Both didn't realize that Jiraya, the keepers and Akito had witnessed their encounter.

Usagi went to the library to get information about the kyūbi. She saw several clones of Jiraya and went to one.

"I need some information about the kyūbi. Where can I find it?"

"We have summarized information of the bijūs on a scroll. I will get it for you."

The clone went to a pile of scrolls, took one and brought it to her. Usagi went to her room to read it. On the scroll was general information about the bijūs. The sage of the six paths had created the bijūs from the jūbi, a ten-tailed chakra monster which had rampaged the world. The sage had given each bijū a name and had described them their abilities. The bijūs were living forms of chakra. They had got red chakra that is stronger and outmatched most shinobi. Over the centuries, shinobis had treated them with great disdain and fear. The shinobis had captured the bijūs to control and use their powers.

'My assumption was right. The bijūs had never been evil. They were manhandled by shinobis. It was typical for humans to hate creatures with more power. Humans are afraid to lose their 'superior' position in the world. I need to help the bijūs. After Akatsuki is defeated, I will free and heal them. But I think that I can help kyūbi, now. I have to talk with Naruto tomorrow.' thought Usagi.

The next morning, Usagi told the others her plan. She wanted to talk with the kyūbi and help him. They canceled the training for the day. Usagi and Naruto went in the garden and sat on the grass. Usagi took Naruto's hands. Both relaxed and slowed down their breathings. After a few moments, Naruto was in a huge room. The kyūbi was behind a lattice door. A few seconds later, Usagi joined him in the room in her princess form. As Naruto saw her, his eyes widened. 'Sugoi, that must be her princess form' thought Naruto. The kyūbi watched them cautiously.

"Hello Kurama-san, I'm Serenity."

"You're a Lunarian."

"Hai."

"You look familiar. Are you related to Queen Serenity?"

"Hai, I'm the reincarnation of her daughter."

"I have met her more than thousand years ago. I heard of her death. She was a great woman… Why are you here?"

"I sensed your grief. I want to help you."

"You helped me already a few weeks ago, when you used the holy chakra to subdue me. It eased some of my grief."

Usagi's eyes widened.

"But there is still so much grief and pain left! Shall I use the technique again?"

"Please."

Usagi walked to the doors. Kurama moved his head through lattice of the door and laid it down on the floor. Usagi reached out and touched his snout. She caressed him softly. Kurama closed his eyes and relaxed. Usagi channeled holy chakra into Kurama. After half an hour, she stopped the chakra flow.

"That's better. Thank you, Serenity-sama."

"You're welcome. I can't free you at the moment, because Akatsuki tries to collect the bijūs. But I will free you, when Akatsuki is defeated."

"It's ok, I understand."

"I think that Naruto is a good jinchūriki. He is pure-hearted. Naruto won't use you. But you know that already." Usagi smiled and winked at Kurama.

"Hai, I've watched him his complete life. I would have killed the villager long time ago. But he has much more patience and kept faith with the villagers."

"In my opinion, he needs your chakra in the upcoming battle against Akatsuki. Could you help him to master it?"

"Hai, but he should master senjutsu beforehand."

"Ok. Akira told me that we are going to start with senjutsu in a few days. Naruto could join in the training. I will leave you alone now. Good-bye Kurama-san. I hope to see you soon."

"Good-bye Serenity-sama. It would be a pleasure to talk with you again."

Usagi turned to Naruto. He looked at her in awe. She winked at him, then she left the room.

"Hey kiddo, come here.

Naruto looked at him puzzled, but walked to Kurama.

"As I promised Serenity, I will help you to master using my chakra. But first you have to learn senjutsu. I'm proud of you, you have learned much in the last month. Keep going."

Naruto was shocked. 'Where was the bad-tempered Kurama?' thought Naruto. But the words of Kurama helped a lot. Kurama had watched Naruto and had helped him in his own ways.

"Hai, I will do my best."

"Don't let her go!"

"What?!"

"I mean Serenity. She is a rare treasure. Don't let her go. Now go. I need my rest."

Kurama withdrew his head. He laid down and closed his eyes. Naruto shook his head and grinned.

The following two weeks, Usagi and Akira trained jutsus with element chakra. Usagi had to cover all five basic elements plus the mixed element like ice and wood. Thanks to the kage bunshin no jutsu she could train several jutsus at once and keep up the training with Akito. Usagi and Akito succeeded to synchronize their actions. They started to combine element jutsus. Akito's prime element was lightning.

Naruto used the two weeks to train the combination of the rasengan with wind chakra. After the first week, he was frustrated because he didn't show any progress with the new jutsu. Usagi and Naruto found the solution, during their evening talks. Naruto realized that he needed a clone to create a rasengan. He split the jutsu into two tasks: first to create chakra and second to form the chakra. The new jutsu consisted of three tasks: first to create chakra, second to form chakra and third to add wind chakra. The logical solution was to use two clones. That was the breakthrough, he could combine the rasengan with wind chakra. He called the new jutsu rasen shuriken, because it looked like a big shuriken formed from wind. Unfortunately, his body couldn't handle the jutsu. The rasen shuriken created countless microscopic wind-blades. The wind-blades did cellular damage to his arm. Naruto was frustrated. In fact, he had mastered the rasen shuriken, but he couldn't use it. Akira suspected that the rasen shuriken would damage his chakra circulatory system and only healing with holy chakra would be able to heal the damage. To distract Naruto, Usagi insisted that he joined her training.

At the end of the two weeks, Jiraya was through most of the books. Jiraya, Usagi and Naruto discussed the next steps. They decided that Jiraya should go back to earth and investigate. Usagi and Naruto should stay on the moon to train. They agreed upon a meeting point in a month. Then Usagi created a portal for Jiraya.
