Chapter 3: The Growth of the Queen Part 2

Last Time

Entry Seven

Something is wrong with the Queen! I had been reviewing some of the things that I documented from their history and found that she is growing way to slow. She should have been an adult by the end of the first day at the very latest… I was panicking naturally so the Kyuubi forced me to right down my feelings in this stupid journal, what the hell am I some teenage girl with a dairy! He said that he had a theory, the Xenomorphs take certain genetic traits from their host DNA it's how they adapt in different environments. He says that she is building a chakra core, those are hard to build therefore she is taking longer to mature… Oh Kami-sama… The Queen. Is Stuck. In. A. Cocoon! Some black resin like substance and spit burst out of her mouth just now and completely engulfed her. What. the Hell. Should I Do!

Now

"Kit would you just calm down! We already established that the Queen was growing to slow right?" The fox waited until the blonde boy nodded. "Well what if this is a way for her to go to the next stage, you know kind of like a butterfly. Besides you noticed her shedding all week that's one of the reasons why you moved her into the caves permanently. So man up, go find yourself something to eat and hurry to the Hokage tower, the old man requested a visit remember."

The calmness and content that rolled out of the void successfully stopped whatever panicked response that Naruto had. Taking a deep breath he slunk out of the caves with one last look to the large black cocoon. 'The Queen is okay, I can still feel her and she can still respond to me.' The blonde thought in relief as his mind descended into hunter mode.

The chakra control exercises really made it easier for him to draw up the correct amount to activate his sense of smell. Crouching low to the ground Naruto was able to pick out the scent of a nearby family of rabbits, with a cold detachedness he stalked to where they were grazing. 'Eyes on the prize.' He thought as his icy orbs single out which of the furry critters he was going after.

With a practiced ease the blonde was able to deftly snatch up his prey and with a flick of his wrist he snapped the little animal's neck. Nodding in satisfaction at the plumped bunny the whiskered boy skinned and gutted the little creature with quick precise movements.

"You don't have time to cook it, just eat it raw. It's not like it will have any negative effects on you, if anything you should do it more often." Naruto grimaced at the thought before he bite into the bleeding flesh.

Entry Seven continued

My meeting with the Hokage was just plain strange, apparently he was more concerned about my mental health than I thought… He assigned Iruka-sensei to "tutor" me after classes, his excuse was that after the chuunin became our teacher there has been a minor improvement to my grades. His job is probably to keep an eye on me to make sure I don't do anything to endanger myself or the village. I have to admit it has been getting harder and harder to pull on my smile, more often than not I find myself with a blank expression that creeps everyone out. Now it's going to be even more difficult to juggle everything I have to do! Well I should be going to be, Kyuubi said that everything I had to do today has been postponed until tomorrow. And I have the academy and private tutoring also, It's going to be a really long day. I hope the Queen comes out soon…

(Page break!)

Entry Ten

This new chakra control exercise is hard, and we've been having trouble coming up with a Taijutsu style that fits me! I come home every night sore and basically dead on my feet… The Queen still hasn't come out yet, why is she taking so long! On another note Iruka-sensei took me out to eat today, we went to Ichiraku's and I relearned why I was so obsessed with ramen… Though Kyuubi said that I had to eat it in moderation, apparently my body consumes a lot of energy that ramen cannot provide. Oh today we tested how acidic my blood was, it melted straight through a kunai! Then some dropped down to the ground and it melted the grass where it touched and made small holes in the ground before it stopped, how cool is that! Kyuubi has me eating raw meat every other day, the concept is kind of gross but the taste is not bad and I've found that it gives me a boost in energy. Kyuubi said it's because a lot of the nutrients aren't cooked out so it provides my body with what it needs to be fully functional. Well I should be getting to sleep now…

Entry Thirteen

I can walk on water! I have finally been able to master the other chakra control exercise which was water walking. Even though I achieved that and I'm a lot more used to my body we still haven't come up with a Taijutsu style for me. So far all we have been doing is practicing the academy one, this is getting really boring. The only thing that is stopping me from ripping my hair out is the constant clam that is pushed to me from the Queen, and the fact that she can drain my emotions until they are merely an echo. I think that is way I'm now walking around with a blank expression, the Queen doesn't allow me to feel much especially negative emotions… anyways back to training, I have finally gotten the hang of enhancing my hearing! And it only took six days and my eardrum rupturing four times for me to do it… Kyuubi was not pleased that he had to keep healing me, I would have taken longer if I had to heal myself. Oh Kyuubi took over my boy today, it was a completely freaky experience that I did not enjoy. He placed these intricate seals at the entrance to the cavern that the Queen's cocoon is in, which was also the one that I found her egg, and several of the other inner caves making sure to include one with a river and one with a hot spring. He also put some different seals on the actual walls of the caves, the ceilings and floors he said that they were all used to make a really powerful demonic barrier. He said that the ones in the entrances was to make sure no one could enter unless I permits them, and the ones on the ceilings, floors and walls help to strengthen whatever they were put on and make it nearly indestructible. He said that the barriers will hold against any ninja, though he said to be a little wary if that ninja has demonic chakra, without breaking. He also warded a tunnel that leads to above ground. These seals were a bit different than all of the others, Kyuubi explained that only somebody from my clan would be able to see it that cave entrance or tunnel. He said it was an emergency escape route just in case… I actually feel relieved that this place is now safe and that I don't have to worry about someone coming to kill my daughter! Well I have a long day again tomorrow so I should get some sleep.

(Page Break… again!)

The sloshing of liquid is what slowly lured the blonde from his slumber, sleepy blue eyes looked around the cave he had been sleeping in to find it empty save for the Queen's cocoon and the area where he slept. The sound repeated itself and drew Naruto's attention to the large pulsing black mass.

"It appears that your daughter is ready to come out now, it's the moment you have been waiting for all week." The fox said dully as the blonde became fully alert.

Naruto was able to faintly hear the small ripping noises if he enhanced his hearing, he was fascinated with the struggle the Queen was having from within. With a sound like wet clothe tearing his daughter was expelled from her cocoon.

'She looks different.' Flowed through his mind as he took in the change form of the Xenomorph.

She towered over him at an height of nine feet, her head fanning out to look even more like a crown the it did before. The tan that used to dominate her body was now swallowed almost completely by the black, and her arms were now longer. The most prominent difference however where the powerful legs she now sported.

~I hunger.~ A thought, an honest to god thought, in words floated from the abyss and into Naruto's mind causing shock to spread through his system.

"Well it looks like she grew more than just physically while she was in there." Kyuubi said as the astonishment wore off.

'Yeah, no kidding… Should I take her with me to hunt?'

"Yeah she is now capable of going with you, she needs to get the hang of hunting so that she may provide for her own food. I would suggest that you to head out at night however, it is less likely you will get caught then." Kyuubi stated as he shifted restlessly.

~When darkness swallows the light, I shall feast upon our prey?~ The Queen asked as she pushed a mental image of her and her father surrounded by a massacre of butchered villagers.

"No, as much as I am starting to despise the villagers we can't kill them." The blonde said resisting the Queen's will.

~Why not, they threaten you daily.~ She brought up memories of the villagers hate filled glares and mistreatment of him.

"Still I refuse to murder them, I will not allow you to slaughter them either. If you attacked there is a possibility that you would be injured or killed, I will not take that risk. Besides everyone is not like that." He replied sternly, sending her images of the Sandaime, a Dog and Weasel masked Anbu, the old man and his daughter and with only a moment of hesitation his new academy teacher.

Entry Fourteen

The Queen came out today, I was relieved and surprised when I actually saw her. She changed so much, she can now talk, actually talk! Kyuubi allowed me to take a break today while I explained in excruciating detail what we did for the week to my daughter. She paid rapt attention to every word that I said, absorbing it like a sponge. I have never had anyone to hang off of my words like she did… Anyways me and Kyuubi found out that we could check the Queen's physical and mental health by sticking a tendril of chakra into the void, it was a really weird feeling… The furball said that her core was not fully developed yet so he cannot gauge to what extent she will be able to use her chakra. I am excited to find out, now that I know she won't go rampaging through Konoha… I took the Queen on her first hunt today and she was a natural! She was able to use all of my past experiences and her natural instincts as guidelines on what and what not to do. We're now on a schedule on who will hunt that day, so I'll have some extra time to train and stuff. Well I should be going, I still have to write down all of the changes I noted in the Queen…

Entry Eighteen

Today the Queen walked on water, her chakra control is coming along nicely. We're still wary of letting her do anything to strenuous because her core is still underdeveloped but she is grasping these exercises really well. I think that she is learning the same way she learnt how to hunt this is awesome because that means that only one of us has to learn something for the whole clan to know it! If I even make a clan, I'm still hesitant about that even though Kyuubi is really pushing for me to apply to start my own. Kyuubi reassured me that I have something to contribute to the village, two Kekkei Genkai and that there was a eighty-five percent chance that any kids that I have will get one of my bloodline limits and a ten percent chance that they will have both. He said that either way it goes I will be bringing a new line of defense that the village needs, however I am still hesitant I barely know how to provide for myself never the less a whole clan… on top of that who would be in it? I can't have a whole clan consisting of just me the Queen and the hive that we will built together. No, I don't think I will be making a clan anytime soon not until I need to make one anyways… We have finally found what to base my new Taijutsu style on, it will be a mixture of a style that most Kitsune use, the way the Queen hunts and the academy style that I have been practicing this whole time. Right now the fox is working out how to mesh those three things together but I'm confident that it will be original and awesome! On another note I pulled this huge prank today, it was hilarious! That man who runs the cloth shop ran me out the other day so early this morning I placed superglue on his toilet set! Then using some ninja wire I rigged his bathroom so that it dropped honey and feathers on him while he was trying to get up. They had to pull his whole toilet out and march it down to the hospital, and on top of that they were attacked by bees because of the honey! It was so funny I almost burst a gut laughing so hard… of course the Hokage wasn't really amused when they finally caught me… Oh did I mention that the Queen was eating less? I guess now that she isn't a baby she doesn't need to eat as often, how weird is that… Well I should be going to sleep now, things to do tomorrow I swear I get busier every day!

Entry Twenty

The Queen's tail was ripped off this morning! It was a terrifying experience for everyone involved, luckily it grew back by the end of the day! I was so worried, that was so scary! On another note I can now proudly say that I no longer run into trees or randomly trip anymore, I am now used to my new body structure! Kyuubi said that he will teach me how to make my own weapons and clothes, he said that one of my greatest weapons is my acid blood. He wants me to be able to my blood to increase the potency of my weapons. He said that we can use the part that was torn off of the Queen to make some… I'm kind of don't want to, that's disgusting… Kyuubi began teaching me some demonic seals today, just basic ones to help protect the rest of the cave systems. I can finally see myself getting stronger, closer to my dreams than ever before! I think Iruka-sensei is getting frustrated with me… I went back to making bad grades. It's not that I can't answer the questions correctly and he knows that, it's just me and Kyuubi believe it would be safer for me if I appear stupid. The villagers had started to get more hostile towards me once I started getting good grades and I just don't feel like dealing with all of that. We still do our little get together/ tutoring session everyday and there I can let my true intellect show but in school I have to be dumb… Well I'm rambling so I guess I'll go to sleep now…

(Page Break)

Naruto stared perplexedly before him at the silky dark mass that took up half of the back wall. The black resin like substance stretched away from the cocoon engulfing the whole cave in its sticky web.

"I feel like we just woke up in a giant spider's nest." Kyuubi said as they looked around at their changed surroundings.

"Do you think that this is the final metamorphosis that she will be going through?" Naruto asked his tenant, his daughter had only been out for a week before this happened.

"Yeah, and remember I said that she probably needed to gather the chakra from you and around her to finish building her own. She will more than likely be fully developed when she next comes out. Anyway onto another topic, are you planning on calling her the Queen for the rest of her life? I think she needs an actual name and that you should have it picked out before she comes out."

With one last look and a sigh Naruto left the cave systems to take a quick jog through the forest before he hunted for his food.

Shortly after eating the blond went through his routine stretches, preparing himself for his day of training. 'What are we going to be doing today Kyuubi?'

"Well do you remember that I said you might have a doujutsu? I want to try and unlock it now."

Naruto paused briefly, 'Wouldn't I have unlocked it by now? I've been channeling chakra to my eyes a lot lately.'

"Not necessarily, maybe there is another factor into unlocking it…" The fox trailed off thoughtfully. "Anyways we are going to work on different scenarios and amounts of chakra for now."

Entry Twenty-One

Today we tried to release my doujutsu… with no luck what so ever. But I'm not going to give up yet, it was only our first day of trying after all. I'm still in the lecture stage of learning the demonic seals, it's kind of hard because they are in a different language than the one I understand. A lot of the purposes for the seals don't translate well or at all either, so I'm doing a lot of guess work here. Kyuubi said that demonic seals are different in that they mostly use words and symbols of power. Those are basically the foundation of the demon world and everything in it… If that makes any sense! I have been working on my Taijutsu now more than ever, I find it soothing to have a style, however new and imperfect as it is, to myself that only I know. I'm still pretty horrible at it but like I said its new and I have to train my body to flow naturally with it. The Queen is in a cocoon again, hopefully this is her last time. We have plans to have at least five or ten members added to our colony before we come out to the Hokage. Though even after that I don't wish to become a clan, not yet anyways… so much happened today and yet I have so little to say… I might as well go to sleep, I'm exhausted!

Entry Twenty-Six

Damnit, I still have no idea how to unlock these stupid eyes! I'm starting to think that I don't have a doujutsu after all… I mean I studied the Queens anatomy, she doesn't have eyes! How the hell am I supposed to get their vision when they don't have fucking eyes! It's like telling someone who was born blind to describe color, its completely impossible! This is extremely irritating I would prefer to just forget about it and work on something else but Kyuubi is obsessed… On another note I'm starting to get more comfortable with my Taijutsu style, it's really nothing more than a whole lot of instinctual moves. No real patterns or anything, quite genius if you asked me that way I'm unpredictable! Speaking of patterns, if I'm reading this correctly the Queen should be out in two days! I'm so happy that it almost makes me forget about my earlier frustrations… almost… I've been thinking about names for her and I've decided on Slick because of her skin, Kyuubi hates it but that's what I'm going to stick with… Well I'm going to bed!

Cerulean eyes took in the twenty-five feet of majestic being that stood in front of him. The Queen now had two pairs of functional arms that were wrapped snugly in her glossy black exoskeleton. She was deadly beauty with not a hint of tan on her dark body.

"Koutaigou." Naruto whispered, all previously decided names forgotten, it felt right falling from his lips. "I now name you Koutaigou!"
