Naruto was pleasantly surprised when he fell asleep into a dungeon hallway instead of a sewer. Walking down the halls, he smiled as his footsteps echoed down throughout the entire area. Getting to the main dungeon, he found Lady was sitting in front of a bound and gagged Kyuubi riding a bondage horse riding up between her now bared lips. The masked mistress was eating a well-done steak in front of the bound fox woman.

"Hello Lady, how's it going?" Naruto asked as he walked up next to the mistress currently teasing the former fox-demon. "It seems that you two are adjusting nicely..."

"Oh Naruto-sama... I was just stopping for a few to have some dinner... would you care to join me?" Lady answered with a smile from behind her mask, which made Naruto wonder how she was eating the steak, but decided against asking. "I think that she will be ready for me to train you on soon... Well... at least she's not as fond of bad words any more..."

Naruto settled in and waved off the offered steak, not being hungry at the moment. He looked over the bound fox-woman a little closer, noticing that her eyes were forced open and foxus on the steak in front of her. "No thank you... I just came to check in on you two..."

"Oh that's so sweet, thank you... As you can see we're perfectly happy here... at least I am..." Lady stated before slacking the chains that hung at her side, causing Kyuubi to settle further on the horse with a moan. "I think it's time for your first lesson... you are human, but your slaves are too. Try to avoid acting in anger when you can. Haste may cause you to regret your actions later... isn't that right Kyuubi?"

"Go screw yourself, you know you loved exploiting my healing factor for all it was worth K..." Kyuubi started before Kushina's stroking of a flogger caused her to cut herself off with a whimper. Naruto frowned as he watched the fox-woman's actions.

"I think she's being a little too uppity... let's change her name... what was it she called me? Ah yes... Fleshbag..." Naruto mused thoughtfully as he stroked his chin in thought. It didn't really sit with him as proper though, so he felt something else was needed. "Maybe just kitsune or something... What do you think Lady?"

Naruto could almost swear the face on the mask broke into a predatory grin as she stood up and walked over to Kyuubi, reaching up and pulling down on her collar. The added pressure to her nether lips caused the bound woman to let out another moan as a shiver rippled over her body. "Very good Master Naruto... a fitting name for her... after all, she's no longer the nine-tailed godhood of abomination that she once was, now she's just a one-tailed kitsune in a slave's hood... Oh how deliciously fitting..."

As Lady turned away Naruto saw a new tag with the word Kitsune stamped on it dangling from the front loop of the collar. "And I must commend you for not choosing a name out of anger... I know how tempting it must have been..."

"Well I think this is better... since she's no longer Kyuubi-no-kitsune... but instead just a kitsune..." Naruto stated while chuckling softly, "Not even a single tail to her name... isn't that a shame? To have fallen so far, and yet, she remembers her former glory..."

Naruto turned to walk out as Kyuubi growled darkly, her rage building until Lady smacked her across the ass, causing her to let out a scream that seemed a strange mix of arousal, pain, and rage. "Keep up the good work Lady, maybe someday she could earn a tail..."

"Oh... I think she has a long... long time before that's possible."

Naruto woke up the following morning before the Sun rose again, his eyes adjusting to the dim light of the embers from the campfire. Sitting up slowly he rolled out the knots in his neck and found his eyes meeting up with Kakashi's good one. "Morning..."

"Hey there... sleep well?" Kakashi asked lazily while Naruto woke up his still tired body.

Naruto sighed heavily as he shook his head slowly. "I feel like I overslept... How long was I out?"

"Five hours..." Kakashi answered with a slightly mystified tone to his voice. He added a log to the fire, letting it catch before he settled down on a pad of his own while closing his good eye. "If you don't mind, I'd like to get some sleep... since there's still another eight hours before dawn."

"Sure Kakashi... I'll keep quiet..." Naruto answered while looking at the steadily snoring trader that had done nothing but complain for the entire previous day. Oh, how he would like to have taught him some manners, but Kakashi suggested that he try it without the whips and chains this time. And so Naruto worked on being polite and guiding the nearly perpetually drunk trader into being more social. He'd had moderate success after blowing up the booze, not that he'd been caught doing it mind you...

The snapping of a twig caught Naruto's attention and forced him to focus on the surroundings. There was just something off about the area, and he knew that someone was out there. An evil smirk spread over his face as he slipped into the darkness. Something inside him caused him to focus points in his lower back, nine points that he couldn't figure out why they were specified. Finding two people he crouched in behind a tree. "There's the trader... let's capture him and kill the other two..."

Oh that was just the right trigger, he snarled as a red cloak surrounded him and nine lengths of chains shot out of his back binding the two in tight, nearly suffocating cocoons. "Well... that was useful..." Naruto mused as he walked out of the woods, into the campfire area, where Kakashi was waiting for him alert and at the ready. "Sorry about that Kakashi... I didn't even think to wake you up..."

"Uhh... yeah... don't worry about it... who're your friends?" Kakashi asked curiously as he pointed at the two breathing mask wearing men currently held in his chains.

"I dunno... didn't get their names, just that they were going to try and kill us... You wanna ask? I'm still kinda new to all this..." Naruto offered lamely while pointing at the pair that were now leaking fluids out the bottom of the chains. "OH COME ON! NOW I HAVE TO WASH THEM!"

"Let me take them off your... chains... for you..." Kakashi offered as he pulled out chains of his own. Naruto simply shrugged and set them on the ground, cutting off the chakra flow to the chains, and to his surprise separating them from his body instead of making them disappear. "Thank you... I'll go... talk... to them..."

"Have fun... I'm waking up Tanzo and asking him some questions myself..." Naruto answered as he turned to the sleeping trader. After Kakashi left, Naruto only had one thought enter his mind... This was going to be fuuuuuun...
