I would just like to say I do not own Naruto or any of the other things I pay homage too. If you like one of my ideas please, feel free to use them in your own stories, though I would appreciate a PM so I can read them.

Changing Fate Chapter 7

Last chapter

"So now what? Are you two just going to be here in my mindscape now?" the boy asked but then he noticed that their extremities seemed to be fading to white and scattering like dust.

"I'm sorry son but we are out of chakra. Our time is up and we have too…" Kushina started to say but ended in a startled gasp which Minato shared.

Now

"Oh no you don't," Naruto heard from beyond the gate. He now noticed two Hydra heads snaking out between the bars of the cage biting into the back of his parents.

"Hey what do you think you're doing?" he shouted out as he ran to them in an attempt stop whatever the demon was up too.

"Calm down brat. I'm just using one of the abilities I got from fusing with that piss ant Moryo," responded the fox who now that he was closer Naruto could see had Nine Hydra heads attached to the base of his torso instead of the fox tails he had once had and a small set of leathery wings. He then noticed that the fading that he had observed happening to his parents stopped and in fact they began to regenerate the parts that had blown away.

As the two heads retracted back into the cell the boy came to a halt and with a hint of apprehension asked, "What ability is that? Some kind of weird mind control ability?"

"Kyōka Shohō: Chakura Chūnyū is not a mind control. Sure Moryo used it to inject the five elements into you with a bastardized version of a holy jutsu to bind your soul so that he could take over your body but the seal would prevent me from doing that. I'm simply using it to refill their empty reserves. They sealed me in here and forced me to fuse with that weakling. So I'm not letting them go and pass on now leaving us alone to deal with what's coming," explained the Kyubi.

"Aww I knew you would miss me Kyu-chan," squealed Kushina.

"Bah! I just can't stand being in such a weak container. If he is going to survive the challenges ahead of him, not to mention doing my job as protector of humanity, he will need to learn a lot more than he did in his previous life. He had the power of one of your Kage but knowledge barely above a new genin," the demon said with a huff of disdain.

"Hey! I'm not that bad," the boy angrily hollered.

"Uh, yeah you kinda are son," Minato said with a sheepish grin. "You learned three non-academy standard jutsu and created a variation on one of them. Most of what Jiraiya-sensei taught you was simply correcting the gaps the academy left in your education."

"But don't worry sweetie. With Kyu-chan's help we will make you the best ninja ever, datebane!" Kushina exclaimed. Then a cheshire grin spread across her face as she said, "We may even teach your new little girlfriend a thing or two as well."

Blushing bright red Naruto started sputtering trying to deny the accusation before she laughed and said, "You can't deny that you are attracted to her Naruto-kun. I'm sealed inside you remember. I have access to your memories."

"Mom," whined the boy going even brighter red.

With a laugh Minato said, "All kidding aside there is much that we can teach you as long as we continue getting chakra to maintain our presence in the seal."

"Awesome, I bet there are a bunch of cool techniques you guys can teach me," Naruto enthusiastically said.

"Oh yes why I can teach you kenjutsu and fuinjutsu oh and I bet if we go to the ruins of Uzushio we will find some of the sealed vaults have remained unplundered. Plus like Kyu-chan said you should have the affinity for the 'special chakra' techniques though, since she was sealed a lot tighter inside me unable to see how I used them, she obviously didn't truly understand that it's not really a bloodline. Anyone can use them but it's just that the Uzumaki clan has used it for so long that some of us find that we have a stronger affinity to it," Kushina excitably blurted seemingly in one breath. "Kinda like how the Yamanaka, Nara, and Akamichi clans have abilities that are like a bloodline but that anyone can learn to use. They just have an affinity that enhances them. Though we do have a bloodline that bestows upon us a strong yang essence, blessing us with extremely long living hearty bodies and giving us vast chakra reserves, which in turn were expanded even more for the both of us by Kyu-chan's presence. We're the best, datebane!"

"That sounds cool but what did you mean about those sealed vaults?" her son asked once she stopped to breathe again.

"Oh well you see the great Rikudo sennin who is considered the father of modern ninjutsu as we know it left the vast collection of knowledge he had collected over his long years of life in the hands of his daughter who founded the Uzumaki clan. Much like his eldest son who was born with his analytical eyes formed the Uchiha clan and his younger son that was blessed with his strong connection to nature formed the Senju clan," his mother explained.

"And I can teach you the fuinjutsu, ninjutsu, and jikukan ninjutsu that I know though many of the non-fuinjutsu abilities I created were based off of my observances of the abilities your mother gained while going into her jinchuriki state. Also I can summon the toad scroll so you can sign it once again and perhaps learn senjutsu from them which I never managed to have time for," Minato told him once he could get a word in edgewise past his excitable wife.

"That would be great. I'm glad I will get this chance to learn from you since you were my idol growing up dad," the younger blond happily said.

"Also I will be passing on the knowledge that Moryo stole from his hosts over his long lifetime as well as let you have some of the abilities that Minoto mentioned and my ability to sense the darkness within others. I have no real use for most jutsu, though I did learn genjutsu as a hobby since kitsune are supposed to be great illusionists and I suppose I can teach you that too. Then if you learn all that, most of the time you won't need to draw upon my chakra to save your pathetic life while shortening both of our lifespans since this seal will take me with you when you die. Though Moryo's chakra should be safe for you to use and I should be able to separate it with the abilities I have gained from him. But I expect you to use these abilities and techniques as the protector of humanity as I can't fulfill my duty. And if I am not removed from the seal somehow before your death, I expect you to pass these abilities and duties on to your descendants. You already have gained my shape shifting abilities from your mother being my previous jinchuriki, which I will aid you in mastering, and I will make sure that you pass on my special sense for malevolence as well," the Kyubi informed him.

"I guess that's fair. It's not like I wasn't going to be the one dealing with half the monsters plaguing the world anyway," Naruto joked in reply. "I would never leave people to just deal with things like that on their own anyway. So what kind of abilities did you gain from Moryo anyway?"

"Well the entity that Moryo originated from was a fallen tenchi no shi who was cast from Kami's grace to live a mortal life in the times before the shinigami. It realized that its vast power and knowledge could cause great harm to the world so still being good in essence it decided to split itself in two one half taking most of the knowledge and becoming the line of priestesses and the other taking most of the holy chakra and becoming Moryo. But Moryo didn't want to die when his time came so he used one of the few holy jutsu that he still knew. When an angel is sent down by Kami they would use this technique to inhabit the body of a willing host to spread Kami's word as the angels have no physical form of their own. Moryo used the jutsu to form a pact with an evil man to use his body in exchange for sharing his power. He continued this for a long time going from person to person darkening his soul over time until he learned of the hydra demon and its ability to use all five of the elements each with a separate head and somehow managed to bond with it. With that he created a bastardization of the holy jutsu using the elements to bind the person's soul instead of just bonding with it. He continued to steal bodies and knowledge this way giving him quite a lot of knowledge of elemental jutsu. So in effect I know many jutsu including the method to control the terracotta puppet army, have the holy chakra Moryo started with, have the human chakra that he stole over time, and have the hydra's ability to split its chakra so that each head uses a different type. Though I would ask you to request of your girlfriend and her mother to perform an exorcism upon the holy chakra to rid it of the taint Moryo accrued by bonding with all those evil souls," the fox told him.

"Ugg. She's not my girlfriend. True I wouldn't mind if she were but still nothing has happened between us," the boy exasperatedly complained.

Minato grinned at this and said, "That's my boy. Just because nothing has happened yet doesn't mean you can't be interested. If you decide to see if she might be interested in you though, you have my and your mother's support. Now go ahead and wake up and make us a couple clones so we can talk to everyone and make some plans for your training."

With a groan of irritation Naruto began to awaken.

"Naruto-kun… Is that you?" asked a small tremulous voice.

"Ugg, yeah I'm still here," He replied as he opened his eyes to look straight into Shion's looming face. He saw that she was very close to tears but with his statement joy seemed to flash across her features like color filling the sky with the rise of the sun.

With a choked cry she hugged him to her saying, "I'm so glad. I thought I had lost someone else I cared about to him. I wouldn't have forgiven myself if I had ended up sacrificing you in order to save Kaa-san after all you have done for me."

Then realizing she had just admitted too caring for him, they both went bright red and she jumped away from him looking away only to find a smirk on her mother's face. With raised eyebrows indicating her mirth she asked, "You said a friend gave you the power boost to come back this far. Just how far did you come back and just what type of friend is he that your soul dragged his with you?"

"Kaa-san," Shion indignantly squeaked going even redder.

"Great your mom is just like mine," Naruto said with a huff before putting his hands together and producing the shadow clones of each of his parents.

"Well Gerotora, Kakashi looks like I'm going to have that time to explain after all," Minato said as he moved over to one side of the courtyard waving the Anbu group and toad over to him.

At the same time Kushina made a bee line strait to Miroku. With a sigh of exasperation Naruto lay back saying, "Oh that can't be good their plotting together. I'm so exhausted though. Wake me up when they decide our doom Shion-chan."

Seating herself beside him with a resigned sigh Shion replied, "Sure Naruto-kun, rest well."

AN: Well it seems that my muse has returned as I finally managed to put together the proper words complete this chapter. As usual I hope you enjoyed the chapter and reviews are appreciated.

Kyōka Shohō: Chakura Chūnyū - Strengthening Prescription: Chakra Injection - This technique creates dark snakes that forcibly connect with a person and inject them with medically altered chakra. This extra chakra will allow the user to utilize high level element ninjutsu. It also allows the user to use elemental techniques that they wouldn't be able to master normally. The chakra is not infinite, and must be replenished over time. The person injected with these snakes can also force the snake out, and drink the chakra directly, vastly increasing their chakra and power, but results in their body being highly unstable. The dark chakra snakes can also be used against the opponents. By injecting them with the same chakra, it can either paralyze or kill without leaving a mark.

jikūkan ninjutsu - Space–Time Ninjutsu = are techniques that allow the users to manipulate the space–time continuum.
