Sorry for the late and short update, I was very busy.
Anyways, I won't waste your time. Here is the New Year update-
Chapter 7
In Naruto's mindscape, with Simon and Kyuubi
Kyuubi was now lying down with one eye open. Simon was sitting near him in a cross-legged position, telling Kyuubi about his adventures. Kyuubi was actually enjoying his stories, he had previously thought that nothing could surprise him. He had lived so long that, he thought nothing the humans could do could surprise him. But he now he realised how wrong he was, the stories this person told- now he doubted the existence of the person sitting next to him. Much to his frustration, he occasionally gave a snort or chuckle when something surprised him.
Then he suddenly perked up one of his large ears.
He snorted- "Looks like the brat made it" he said with an annoyed look "I actually expected him to die. I guess I was wrong."
He nodded at Simon acknowledging his assessment of Naruto.
Then Naruto came into the light running with a goofy smile on his face. Simon got up, excited "Hey Naruto, did you defeat him?"
He ran up to him with a smile on his face. When he reached upto him, Naruto gave him a thumbs up and Simon laughed and bumped his fist with his.
Naruto now looked at him a bit seriously, "Well I did not actually defeat him…but I got the next best thing. I got a draw, my evil twin even accepted me, dattebayo"
"Accepted?"
"Well, ya know, something called aknodment"
"Is it acknowledgement?"
"Yep that's the word!"
Kyuubi who was silently observing until now, raised an eyebrow- "He did that?"
Naruto then noticed him, he was still fearful of him but still he answered "Yes, but he wants a rematch. Said that next time I would lose."
Simon was now giving him a strange smile "Now, we can't have that, can we?"
"Naruto from now on we are actually start your training. We will be leaving your mind and will be returning to the real world in a few minutes, but before that Mr. Kyuubi here has something to give you."
After a few seconds of silence Kyuubi grunted and extended one of his tails towards Naruto, when the tail touched him a red substance started to bubble from the point of contact. In a matter of seconds it spread throughout Naruto's body.
Naruto was actually getting quite scared now, whatever courage and energy he had only extended up to fighting against his evil self, if Kyuubi decided to kill him now he could scarcely defend himself.
He started shaking, but stopped when someone placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Don't worry, Naruto" said Simon comfortingly, "Kyuubi has agreed to help you, he is giving you two tails worth of untainted power to use in time of great need. Don't worry, it is free from his hate and anger. Isn't it Kyuubi?"
Simon looked Kyuubi in the eye daring him to object. The large chakra beast just grunted again.
When bubbling tails were finally visible behind Naruto Kyuubi retracted his tail and said "As the human said" Kyuubi looked at Simon for a moment, "You now have two tails worth of my power. If you do not finish it up all at once it will charge up again in a day. You better save it, brat, because I am not going to give you any more, ever"
With that he returned to the darkness of his cage leaving the two boys behind.
Simon said to Naruto "The next time you wake up you will be lying in the woods nearby the village. When you do so go lay low for a while, then after a day, go meet the Hokage at the top of the Hokage monument at 4 AM. He will rely to you the terms of our agreement."
Then he tapped Naruto on his forehead and the blonde fell down unconscious.
In the Hokage's office
Hiruzen was sitting idly in his chair in his chair, free from the evil called paperwork. Normally it would be a pleasant day for his, the sun was shining brightly in the sky and the sounds of children playing in the village could be heard from the windows of the office. But he did not hear the sound of the child he wanted, Naruto was still missing and that thought haunted him.
I don't know what to do!, thought Hiruzen frustrated and worried, I don't know how to find him. I don't care even if he is found like Sasuke…. I wish he was back.
Just then a slip of paper slid past the office door. Hiruzen was stunned, his mouth was opening and closing, eating air. His got up as if in a trance, ran to the door and picked the paper. The words on the paper sent a chill up his spine.
IF YOU WANT TO SAVE NARUTO, GO TO THE TOP OF THE HOKAGE MONUMENT. ALONE.
Talk of the Devil! If it is that guy again, I will kill him this time; I don't care how powerful he is, thought Sarutobi Hiruzen half angry, half relieved, at least Naruto is alive!
This time he did not was time he did not waste time alerting the ANBU, he jumped out through the window, breaking it.
(In Kumo, the Raikage sneezed sending a pile of paperwork flying around his office.
"WHO IS COPYING ME? I WILL APREHEND THE ONE RESPONSIBLE!" he shouted.
"Darui, ask our spies in the other villages to find out which Kage broke his window. I want your report by tomorrow, do you understand?" said the enranged A to his left hand man.
"Hai Raikage Sama" murmured the gale style user and thought, this is too troublesome.
At that time a number of sneezes could be heard throughout Konoha)
On top of the Hokage Monument
"Where are you? Come out! Don't mess with me" shouted the Third Hokage brandishing his Bo staff.
"He he he, sorry for messing with you" said a person clad in white, coming out from behind a tree.
"Who are you? Are you with the guy who took Sasuke?" said Hiruzen in threatening way.
"Hold on, calm down! Somebody kidnapped Sasuke? I guess I was right on time."
"What are you talking about?"
Hmmm… thought Simon "My name is Simon. I kidnapped Naruto to keep him safe. Now why don't we go and talk somewhere more private before the ANBU gets here?"
"Why should I trust you?"
"Simple. Because Naruto trusts me and rest assured he will come back to you- alive and safe, on his own accord"
The way these guys talk, thought Hiruzen, I bet they are blood-related!
Then he nodded and left the place with Simon.
That's it guys.
Please review.
