Hi! Wulfie here! (and now I feel idiotic…meh.)

First off, please please PLEASE check out the poll I have going on my profile! I can't really go on with KcblP if it's not answered. There'll be one more chapter after this one before I would REALLY need results in.

Second, after the little not-really cliffhanger last chapter, I'm gonna add in some facepalming, and make Kurama a little OP for a little (Edit: NVM. Made it a bet! :P). They DO have to try to get rid of the paparazzi, and since NR Ben, or as everyone should know by now, Naruto, doesn't appreciate having innocents killed, Kurama's gonna take the next best route: calling a favor from Kami! I'm probably spoiling the entire chapter right now, but idc. You probably do, though, so I'm gonna start before you all start wanting to strangle me.

Edit to: just before I posted this

I'M SORRY. SORRY SORRY SORRY SORRY SOOOOORRRRRRYYYYYYYYYYY! I'm a horrible person. TWO. WEEKS. At least 2 WEEKS since I've been on either my Instagram account and posting and 3 since the last time I updated any of my stories. I know, I'm cruel. Plus, there's also a (not very) nice cliffhanger at the end. I think. I'm not sure if it counts as a cliffhanger. Oh well. Any who, I'm gonna work on all my other stories to make up for it. Yep, you read right. Even Lilly Diaz the Ice Elemental will be updated, even though I marked it as complete. I feel like Lilly's story is a bit bland, so I'm gonna add a twist. Plus, it'll go with a doodle I just drew today. (Hint: It has to do with my only true OC other than Lilly) And yes, it also means I'll update Zōngakure. One of my Instagram friends (Wilson or uncharted_constellations - Instagram or UnchartedConstelletions - ) gave me the best hellion how I'll have the ghosts actually listen.

Here's KcblP Ch 3: Dammit Kurama!

3rd Person POV

The block was completely quiet, save for the swirling of the giant red fox's energy around NR Ben, swerving into the fox's figure by tunneling through the air and into the tips of his ears. The kitsune's everlasting smirk/snarl faltered for a moment before he plopped down, sitting behind NR Ben, who gained a dead-panned expression, and threw his head back, howling with laughter.

"You should all see your faces! HahahahaHaHaHaHAHAHAHA!"

…yeah. He tried not to laugh! It was too amusing though!

"Dammit, Kurama! Shut up! You're scaring the civilians!" NR Ben's slightly rough voice rang through the otherwise silent block before he caught Billy's and Rook's gobsmacked expressions, along with all those from the plumbers that came as back-up. Correcting himself, he said, "Uh…Dammit, Kurama! You're scaring everyone in town!" Wait. Back up. News channels. Ones that could be seen all over the world. "Che…You're scaring everyone on this Earth!"

'Kurama', as he had been newly identified as, merely looked at his host. "Kit. I am a kitsune. A fox demon. And pretty much the embodiment of mischief, if your old title was anything to go by. It's kind of in my blood to scare humans-" Quick look around at the plumbers. "And possibly aliens. You can't get me to stop pulling pranks. And by demon standards, this is a soft one. Must I remind you of a normal one?"

"No thanks! That was an EVIL first impression you left on me, by the way. Did you HAVE to roar that loud? I think my left ear is still ringing."

"Nah, it's not. I replaced it with an eye twitch that comes back with a vengeance whenever…meh, I won't reveal that little habit."

"MY EYE TWITCHING IS YOUR FAULT!? DAMMIT YOU OVERGROWN PUFFBALL!"

"HEY! I AM THE FEARED KYUUBI NO KITSUNE! THE STRONGEST OF THE TAILED BEASTS! THE ONE WHO'S TAILS CAN FLATTEN MOUNTAINS! THE ONE WHO-"

"Got beaten by a 'puny human' on a giant toad, and was sealed into a newborn."

"…I hate you, kit."

As their 'little' argument progressed, the two had move to where they were face-to-face. NR Ben's back was to the plumbers, who noticed alarmingly that there was blood quickly seeping through the black shirt, barely noticeable, but there was so much that it was dripping onto the ground and his brown pants. Kurama's back was to the press, who noticed that, even though he now looked like a hologram, with his orange fur and black ear and eye accents visible, but was a bit see-through. He was crouched down on all fours, his head was as close to NR Ben as it could be without obstructing his vision and his white fangs gleaming in the plumbers' eyes. To NR Ben's left was Rook, Billy, and Billy's cyborg, all still staring at the two, and Rook still holding his communicator, having finished his call with Mr and Mrs Tennyson not very long ago.

That is, if you could call that a call. He was so confused that their 'conversation' went like this: "Hello, this is the Tennysons." "Uhhhhhh." "Rook? Why are you calling?" "Ben…Fox…blond…uhhhhhhh….blood…k-Kurama…whaaaaaa?" "…Got it. SANDRA!" *click*

All that Carl needed to hear was Kurama's name. Considering what happened when Sandra was given Ben to hold, and their little mind trip, the speed of which he managed to get his wife and rush over wasn 'fast' but not fast enough. They drove as quickly as they could to where Ben and his partner were, and when the crowd of newsmen and women got too thick to get by fast, they popped open the trunk and fished out their bicycles.

When they finally arrived, the shouting match between NR Ben and Kurama had just begun. Two simultaneous slaps were heard, causing everyone to look at the married couple.

"Not even one day, and you two are ALREADY fighting?! Couldn't you two have waited until AFTER you got home?!" Everyone, especially the Plumbers, and even more so Max, were shocked. Here is this woman with her husband yelling at a demon that just yelled to the heavens that he was able to flatten a mountain with his tails. And it didn't help that Carl was looking at the massive energy construct with a scolding look on his face. Then NR Ben and Kurama turned to face the couple…

…

…and proceeded to drop their heads with a 'kicked puppy' look on their faces. You can imagine the surprise everyone had coursing through their veins at that. The only though going through Max Tennyson's head was '…is my family TRYING to kill themselves?! They're suicidal! They have to be! There's no other explanation!'

Anyway, as NR Ben's 'Grandpa Ben' continues to mentally rant on how his family seems to enjoy the idea of death, Sandra and Carl make their way to the other two main focuses of everyone. Carl, again, face palmed.

"Kurama. Are you going to wait before you heal my son from his near-death experience? Again. Or are you going to have him bleed to near-death before doing so? Again."

…HOW THE HELL WAS THIS GUY SO CALM ABOUT HIS SON NEARLY DIEING?! This family was getting more and more ridiculous! Max was now next to Rook (Don't ask when he got there, I'm an author. I can do these things. :P), and was proceeding to bang his head on a light post behind him and Billy, asking why-oh-why his grandson had to be the one that had so many near-death experiences. Rook and Billy, meanwhile, were still standing in place, shocked. They probably won't snap out of it anytime soon…not my problem!

Quick cut to Gwen and Kevin, who were watching the spectacle from a TV in Kevin's must-have garage. Gwen had dropped her textbooks, while Kevin's wrench was also on the ground, his mouth wide open and eyes bugged.

A moment of silence…

Gwen did the equivalent of flipping a desk with no actual desk. "I give up. I'm done. I'm not ever going to try to even- right when I think I have my doofus of a cousin all figured out, this happens." She flailed her arms in exasperation. "Nope. Ben can't and never will be able to be all figured out."

"Why?" Kevin needed clarification. NOW. He needed something to make sense for once when it came to the Tennysons. The twiggy Ben managed to beat Vilgax, conquerer of worlds. His old Grandfather could cook things that would try to kill him while still in the pot, or were way too big to even fit in there, and not even blink. Gwen was half magic-using alien and spoke with her advanced vocabulary a bit too often for him to understand, and Ben's parents were reprimanding a giant killer fox made of energy.

"At first, I thought he was an immature boy who would never be able to be responsible. Then the Omnitrix showed up, and I figured, okay. He can be responsible, but not responsible enough. And then Ben beat Vilgax. Alright, he can handle himself. Fast-forward to now. I figured now he was just a cocky cousin that could be responsible when he needed to and had great luck, nothing more complicated than that. Now, I find out he is a…I don't even know, but apparently he now has sunny blond hair and sky blue eyes instead of earthy brown hair and forest green eyes, and he has whisker marks, along with a gaping hole in his chest that is obviously bleeding out, he somehow knows a giant super powerful energy construct, and he's still calm despite his injury, and I find out my aunt Sandra and uncle Carl are in on all this crap! Nothing can be simple, can it?!"

Kevin gestured to Gwen wildly. "Now you know how I feel!"

"…"

"…"

"…We're going. I need answers."

"Alright, I'll start her up and-"

"Nope. Teleporting."

"But-"

"I don't care if it makes you sick, we're teleporting."

"Damn."

"Shut up you big baby."

Back where Kurama and NR Ben were, Rook was busy trying to get Max to stop banging his head, Billy was trying to gather himself enough to lift his jaw, the newsmen and women were actually quiet, the camera people were trying to keep their cameras upright and the Plumbers were fumbling with their weapons. The reason? Sandra and Carl had just slapped and noogied Kurama and NR Ben. Respectively. The newswomen were trying to make some crack about girl power, but that's beside the point. The point is, you shall now have to fear the Tennysons. Fear them now. Because they just made this massive nine-tailed fox flinch in slight pain. Well, Mrs. Tennyson did. Mr. Tennyson just noogied his supposed son. So fear female Tennysons. Forever.

Anyways…

Kurama then looked around, noticing the news anchor people. "Eh? Where did all these mortals come from?"

NR Ben facepalmed. (If you are wondering why the hell I'm still calling Naruto NR Ben, for Not-Really Ben, it's because these people still don't know it's Naruto. As far as they know, Ben just gained another appearance.) "Really, ya giant ball of fur? They've been here since around when you appeared, and you are just barely noticing them?"

"I was kind of busy making due with my bet with Kami. Speaking of which, it'll be her turn right now, since we need her help with this."

"Bet? What bet?"

"On who could make the best entrance. Let's see her top that! KAMI-SAMA! I REQUEST YOUR PRESENCE!"

Kurama's head was pointed to the heavens during the shout. "Did you have to do that? I think you gave some civilians temporary or even permanent deafness."

"No. But the queen of the heavens deserves some kind of announcement."

"Really, Kurama? You could've just called me with a simple mental transmit."

The sun shone, and the clouds, which had thickened during the entire event as if preparing for all this, were broken through with over-dramatized streams of light, which began to swirl into a shining tornado as thunder stroke and the winds howled. It slowly condensed into a female body. She had blond hair in a high, clean ponytail and white, glowing eyes. She wore a simple white sundress with gold accents, golden sandals, and one of those long white cloths that drape behind you and hung from your arms. She, being a deity, was almost as tall as Kurama, and she drifted down from the sky to sit on a nearby building.

"How's that?" She said.

Que people joining Billy in their tries to close their mouths. At that moment, Gwen and Kevin teleported onto one of the buildings. That building ended up being the one Kami was on, and they had landed right on her hand.

"…Gwen?"

Too preoccupied with staring at Kurama, she didn't notice how she was on a goddess's hand as she answered, "Yes, Kevin?"

"I don't think we should've landed on a building."

"Why not? It's easier to pinpoint where to land if it's higher up, like a beacon."

"…We're on the hand of a giant woman who looks very annoyed. I think we should get down."

"What do you me-…oh…"

"Yeah. Oh."

"…RUN!"

At that, the two jumped up, dashed over to the side of the building, and Kevin absorbed some concrete as Gwen prepared her platforms for a split second before they jumped down and ran down a newly made mana staircase respectively.

"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!"

Screaming the whole time, of course. Hey, what would you do if you were right next to a giant woman who looked ready to squash you? Hopefully you said run. If not, I worry for your mental health. (No, not really. I, for one, would probably do something crazy. So you should be worrying for my mental health. Carry on!)

What made it all awkward was the fact that everyone that was already there just stood and stared as the two scram. Including Kurama and NR Ben. And Max was now banging his head against the concrete building. Meanwhile, Rook was wondering how Gwen was the one who had supposedly kept Ben out of trouble.

Meanwhile, Kami was looking at the two fleeing human/alien hybrids with a little amusement before she decided to take in her surroundings. Seeing all the news reporters, she knew that now, the world most likely saw the entire thing, along with the fact that she actually existed. The numerous alien encounters opened the minds of the world, so no doubt many actually believed she was truly there, in Bellwood, and that Ben 10 wasn't just Ben, but apparently the holder of a demon capable of mass destruction. With a snap of her fingers, everyone but the Plumbers, 'Ben's' family, Kevin, Billy, and his cyborg were sent back to their homes.

She spoke, "There were too many witnesses. Don't worry, I just sent everyone back to where they were before little Billy attacked with his robots, and erased their memories. As far as anybody but us know, this part of town has been blocked off due to suspicions about a bomb being hidden in the sewers, and the authorities wish for no bystanders to be harmed. The citizens of Bellwood were given false memories of this place being evacuated, and the ones who were in the area are all downtown, being ordered so that there would be no mass confusion. They will all be given a place to stay for the next week, afterwards of which the 'bomb' will be found and disarmed. I'll make the 'bomb', and this town's legal force will 'find' it wherever I decide to put it. It'll be simple to 'disarm', as I'll make a stupidly easy to find button that says 'deactivate'. It's too troublesome to make an actual easy-to-solve code."

(I'm sorry for the unnecessary details, but I couldn't help but over-explain the whole thing, if only to get my point across…meh.)

"…please don't. Just…no. Don't channel the Nara, Kami. Of all things, not the Nara."

"What, do you want me to channel the Uchiha or maybe even the Haruno instead?"

"NOPE. NO NO NO. NARA I CAN TAKE. UCHIHA, MAYBE. BUT NEVER, I REPEAT NEVER THE HARUNO."

"Che, those abominations nearly took out my hearing. The only reason it's back up is because I had 16 years to heal."

Suddenly, NR Ben began to sway on his feet, and everyone was reminded about the gaping HOLE going THROUGH his freakin chest. NR Ben was still wearing the back shirt with the number 10 in a white circle and a green collar and racing stripe, along with his brown cargo pants and sneakers, but pretty much everything else was different. He was about 13, had sunny blond hair, sky blue eyes, three 'whiskers' on each cheek, and a gleam in his eye that had gone from Ben's 'troublemaker' to this new 'RUN OR YOU SHALL BE CAUGHT BY THE PRANK DEMON' gleam. His skin was tanned, and slightly orange (possibly due to Kurama and his orange fur.), but these people weren't staring at his defining features at the moment. Right now, they were staring at his upper left shoulder, where a hole in the shirt had appeared. It wasn't a simple hole, though. It was a bit bigger than a fist, and the hole went through the shirt and NR Ben's shoulder, showing bone, bone marrow, tendons, and muscles. The hole was disgustingly clean through, and almost a perfect circle, while the flesh around it was slightly burned, and the skin around the hole was just about caked in electric scars. The injuries on the skin were already healed, and the hole was currently re-filling itself with flesh before everyone's very eyes. Billy turned away and lost his lunch, having worked with robots, and not building a resistance to such scenes.

Feeling she hadn't given enough privacy to NR Ben, Kami decided to transport everyone else back to where they had been before Billy's attack. At Max's questioning look, she said that what she said earlier now applied to the Plumbers she had sent back. In this part of the town, only NR Ben, Rook, Billy, Max, Billy's cyborg babysitter, Kurama, Kevin, Gwen, Carl, Sandra, and Kami were present.

"Now, ready for some answers?"

2,756 words. Not counting the ridiculously long A/N. If you're wondering why I keep saying "sunny blond" hair and "sky blue" eyes for NR Ben (we all know who it is, but whatever), it's because of a thought I had about a month ago. Naruto is kinda like the sky, with his tan, which is usually described as 'sun-kissed' and his eyes and hair. If that goes with Ben, then it's like he's the Earth. He had dirty brown hair, with forest green eyes and skin similar to the color of beach sand (at least, thats how i see it.).

Anyways, please do read and review, vote on the poll, and have a nice day! Or, week…or until I update again and wish you a nice however-long again. You get the point, I suck at this kind of thing, bye! 3
