"It's been a long time since I was summoned, now where is my summoner?" Sounded a booming voice.
"Oh my god." Maiku starred wide eyed at the creature in front of him.
"Hm, a mere boy? Where is Yoshio?"
"He's dead. My father is dead!" Maiku punched the ground, leaving a four foot wide crater. "Now you are going to help me."
"And why should I pledge the loyalty of the Lion clan to you?" The lion leaned its head closer to Maiku, starring him straight in the eye. "What makes you different?"
Maiku reached forward and grabbed the lion by his mane. "I don't give a damn about being different or whatever. All I know is that you're part of my clan's summon contract, and you are going to help me protect."
"Protect what?" The lion asked.
"Whatever is precious to me." Maiku let go and stood up.
"Very well. My name is Leo" Leo had golden fur and a light brown mane with black streaks. Many scars were on his front legs. "One thing though, my son stays here." With that Leo vanished.
"What!?" When the smoke cleared in Leo's place sat a black lion cub. "Great, this is going to suck."
"Hey how's it going?" The cub asked as it walked past Maiku into the house. Maiku just starred at it. "The names Gedin, nice to meet ya."
Maiku had no idea what to say at this point so he gave a simple response. "Ok."
"Maiku-kun, is someone in there with you?" Tenten poked her head into the living room. "And who is this little guy?"
"The lion boss' son Gedin." Maiku fell onto the couch. "He's going to be staying here."
Gedin jumped onto Maiku's chest. "It won't be that bad."
"Not that it'll be bad, just a bit annoying." Maiku sighed.
"He's cute, like a family pet." Tenten smiled and picked up the cub. She cradled him in her arms.
"Don't encourage him." Tenten left Maiku to sleep and took the cub with her. "Have fun training Ten-chan."
"Now this is relaxing." Naruto went to the hot springs to relax after he finished training in the morning. Everything was fine until he heard something weird. Giggling?
"That's nice." Came a voice and more giggles. Naruto turned to see a white haired man crouching by the wall, so he decided to do something. He got out of the water and went over to the man. He put his arm around the man's neck and dragged him away before tossing him in the water. "What the hell kid?"
"Taking care of an annoyance." Naruto crossed his arms and glared down at the man.
"A real defender of the ladies, aren't ya?" The man crawled out of the water. "You ruined my research kid."
"Hey, your Jiraiya right? I thought you looked familiar." Naruto helped Jiraiya up. "Hey can you train me?"
"Why would I want to do something like that?" Jiraiya asked.
"Either do it or I'm going to tell those girls you were peeping." The look on Jiraiya's face went from annoyed to nervous.
"You wouldn't."
"Try me." Naruto began walking over to the wall.
"Alright, alright I'll train you. What's your name kid?" Jiraiya asked.
"Naruto Uzamaki. Now what do you got to teach me?"
'Hm the container, then he should be able to handle it.' "Ok kid, sign this." Jiraiya bit his thumb and summoned a toad that gave a scroll to Naruto. "Unroll it and sign your name in blood and use these seals."
"Ok." Naruto signed his name and was formed the seals. "Kuchiyose no Jutsu!" The room filled with smoke. "Did I do it?" Naruto asked, trying to fan away some of the smoke so he could see when his hand landed on something.
"Hm, judging by the location I can tell Jiraiya is some how involved in this." Said the large toad.
"Your welcome kit." Spoke Kyuubi.
'What do you mean?' asked Naruto.
"No way you had enough chakra for this alone, so I helped out. But seriously, get stronger." Kyuubi laughed at Naruto, who just cut the mental link, blocking out the fox.
"Hey toad, down here." Naruto waved his arms in the air, getting the toad's attention. "I summoned you."
"You?" It asked.
"Why is that so hard to believe?" Naruto asked.
"Believe him Gotsu, the kid summoned you."
"Really, well done kid. Not many get me." Gotsu war a large orange toad with three red lines down his back. A large konoha head band was tied on his left arm and he wore samurai armor. Strapped on his back was a large katana. "Well kid, call me if you need me."
"...Now what?" Naruto asked.
"I don't know. I expected that to take longer." Jiraiya said. "That brings up something else. How the hell were you able to do that so easily?"
"Oh, Kyuubi had to donate some chakra."
"I see, so you can control the fox's chakra." Jiraiya was impressed.
"Not just his chakra." Naruto said.
"What's that suppose to mean?" Asked the white haired man. "He's still sealed right?"
"Technically yes he is. Unless I bring him out that is." Naruto smiled as the expression on Jiraiya's face kept changing from confusion to nervousness. "You seem upset at this, allow me to show you." Kyuubi appeared in his usual red smoke cloud, though he was only the size of a puppy.
"I hate you kit." Kyuubi growled.
"Yeah I know.' Naruto laughed.
"This is the fearsome Kyuubi?" Jiraiya chuckled.
"It is, for now anyway. You see I can limit the amount of power he can use. But that doesn't relate to his size. So he can be full power and still the size of Akamaru." Naruto was in lecture mode. "It all happened when aniki went inside my mind and talked some sense into Kyuubi."
"Ok, I don't get that last part." Jiraiya said.
"Yeah we don't get it ether. Bogu was just supposed to show up, some how aniki's consciousness got dragged along." Naruto said. "But it doesn't matter now, Kyuubi is an ally, I got a toad summon and we still have twenty nine days until the chunin exam. Better think of something else to teach me. You can find me at the Yaiba compound." With that naruto went to the changing room, put his clothes over the black shorts he had went into the hot spring with and went home.
"Damn kid." Jiraiya muttered and went back to his research. Needless to say, the next month for both containers will be interesting.
A bit short, but there really wasn't much action
