Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.
Before we begin this chapter I would like to take the moment to apologize for taking so long on updating this story. I would also like to say that I really don't have a valid reason for taking so long, other than just being lazy. This chapter is not as long as I would have liked but it's the best I can do right now So without further ado, let us begin chapter 9 of Son of Kyuubi
---
(From now on, now that Naruto can interact with people, you will only see their nicknames whenever Naruto is talking to them. It's easier on me and less confusing for you guys… I hope)
Chapter 9: Look Ma! It's an Update
Kurenai, Shino, Naoko, and Hinata all stared at the figure standing between them and the now downed hell demon. He was fairly average in height, standing at around 4 foot 7 inches. His hair was red at the roots but it gradually became blond the closer to the ends it got. His eyes were a crimson usually reserved for blood, and his pupils were slits like a cats, or in this case a fox. 3 whisker marks on each check completed the feral look.
It wasn't just his physical traits that drew their eyes to him; his clothes were just as flashy as he was. Holding his spiky locks from getting in his eyes was a green bandana with a yin-yang on it. He was wearing a black and orange jumpsuit with matching pants, the zipper down just enough to show off his well toned abs. He also was wearing a red cloak trimmed with black flames. The only 'normal' thing about his attire was the shinobi sandals on his feet. (Think Naruto's Sage Mode outfit…what? I like that outfit)
"Oy," the strange teenager said, his back turned to them, "You three. I want you to take care of Hime for me. I'm going to take care of this Oni real quick."
Then he lunged towards Koorimasu, who had started to stand after the teenager had sucker punched him.
---
'Arrgh,' Koorimasu thought as he wiped a bit of blue blood from his lip, 'what could hit me with enough force to make a hell demon like me bleed. Unless… Of course. So that's what it is.'
"I see," Koorimasu said to the teen as he ran towards him, "So that's what you are. A tailed demon!"
The teen merely smirked as he continued running and replied, "How kind of you to notice. The name is Naruto, heir to the great Kitsune legacy, and future Kyuubi, Lord of the Nine-tailed demons!" Naruto then slashed down at Koorimasu with his hands suddenly becoming claws. Koorimasu just barely managed to dodge to the side. "F-Fast," he managed to gasp out seeing the dust cloud produced by the one attack. "No," Naruto suddenly appeared behind him, "You're just slow." He then spin kicked him sending him flying once more.
'Looks like I won't be able to go easy on this guy. Looks like it's time for me to bring out the big guns,' Koorimasu thought as he landed carefully on his feet atop a house. "I call upon the power of the Burning Hell! I call upon the power of the Frozen Hell! Lend me strength and in return you will receive a powerful addition to your ranks," the hell demon cried out as red and blue lights swirled around him violently. "Niiro Aisu(1)!" Koorimasu cried out as a he threw a dagger made of red ice at Naruto with amazing speed. However, Naruto merely deflected it with a swing of his arm. "Hmph. Did you really think something of that level would stop me-ARRGH," He cried out as clutched his arm which was now sporting a second degree, going on third degree burn, "How could ice… Oh I get it. You must be one of them. A cross demon that is."
"That is correct. I am the offspring of two different hell demons, Meaning I can utilize not one, but two different powers. You don't stand a chance tailed demon brat."
"We'll see about that, you pitiful Oni," Naruto replied as he ran one hand over his burn, and with a loud hissing sound, vanished, leaving his skin unmared, "Look's like this won't be as easy as I first thought. Oh well, at least I will have a good chance to break in this new human body of mine."

"There is now way in any hell that you are skipping our fight," Koorimasu and Naruto yelled as they proceeded to beat the shit out of the narrator. After the narrator was sufficiently beaten and maimed the two demons proceeded to face off, "Let's do this!"
Naruto started things off by swinging his arm in a throwing motion at Koorimasu and crying out, "Kage Yougu(2)!" A barrage of shuriken appeared in puffs of smoke similar to that of the Kage bunshin, flying towards Koorimasu.
Koorimasu merely raised one arm which suddenly was covered in red ice to defend himself. None of the shuriken managed to even harm him as the ones aimed at vital areas merely clashed against the frozen arm, and the others either missed or bounced off the demons flesh like they were mere toys. Koorimasu then dashed towards Naruto, claws extended, blue fire spewing from his mouth. Naruto managed to dodge the flames just barely and defended himself from the claws by producing two katana in the same fashion as the shuriken. The two demons proceeded to duel using only their claws and swords.
Suddenly the tide of battle turned in Koorimasu's favor. Naruto could no longer keep up with the barrage of blows and let his guard down for a split second. "That's it," Koorimasu cried out, "I've got you now! Aoi Honoo!" He then exhaled a large amount of blue fire at Naruto completely engulfing him.
"HA HA HA," Koorimasu laughed at Naruto as he fell over crying in pain as the fire began to freeze him over, "Not even a tailed demon can hope to match me. It is true that I am all powerf-What the?!?"
Chains sprang from the ground and wrapped around Koorimasu's body. He was trapped. Then a large three tailed orange fox the size of a horse burst from the ground about twenty feet away, the ends of the chains held tightly in its mouth. Seeing the shocked expression on Koorimasu's face Naruto simply chuckled and said, "Kage Bunshin. It has so many uses." The frozen Naruto poofed into smoke as he said this. "Now it is time for you to burn in hell, and I don't mean that in a good way."
The tips of Naruto's tails began to glow a bright fluorescent blue and then in a deep, powerful voice said, "Kitsune Honoo(3)!"
The chains exploded in a blaze of blue fire and spread rapidly towards Koorimasu. 'Fool,' he thought, 'Does he really think a pitiful fire such as this will work on me?'
"I know what you must be thinking," Naruto said as the fire engulfed Koorimasu, "I won't be affected by fire because I'm from the burning hell. Am I right? Well let me tell you a little secret. This is no ordinary fire. This the legendary fox fire rumored to be capable of downing even the mightiest of foes with its intense heat. Well that just happens to be false. Fox Fire couldn't burn a blade of dried grass. However, Fox fire you see burns not the material, but the immaterial. To be more specific, it burns chakra."
"WHAT," Koorimasu cried out in pain, "THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE!"
"Don't doubt the technique passed down in my family since its creator, the original Kyuubi!"
---
The four humans were looking on in awe throughout the entire battle. As Naruto walked up them dusting off his clothes he said "Well now that that's taken care of. I guess I have some explaining to do."
"We already knew that you were a demon," Shino said simply.
"Huh," Naruto and Hinata said in unison.
"Hokage-sama informed me before this mission so that I would be prepared for anything," Kurenai replied.
"My insects told me," Shino said.
"My brother talks in his sleep," Naoko said with a large grin.
"Well," Naruto said rubbing his head sheepishly, "This is anticlimactic. Hey Gora just cut to the extra already will ya."

Extra 4
Naruto in his human form walks onto the set wearing an orange tux. "Hello everyone," He shouts out with a dazzling smile. The crowd cheers loudly. "First we would like to once again apologize for the long wait, and the fact that this chapter is so short but the author just couldn't make this chapter stretch out any more without completely ruining the storyline. Thankfully however, we have an extra long extra to make up for it." The crowd cheers again. "To start us off my sire will be doing our Demon Lore segment, so lets give it up for the Kyuubi!"
The crowd cheers even louder as Kyuubi walks in and sits down in his usual spot in an armchair, "Nice of you to have me."
"It was no problem at all. Now today's segment is more on Demon Lords. Today I thought that we might tell our viewers just exactly how a demon lord obtains their position."
"Alright," Kyuubi said as he scratched his chin, "Well in order to become a Demon Lord you must first be qualified. In order to qualify you must have the amount of tails of the position that you are trying to get. For example, if you want to be the Niibi, you have to have exactly two tails, and if you want to be the Kyuubi, you have to have nine tails. After you are qualified, you must obtain the recommendation of at least 3 other demon lords. Getting a demon lord's recommendation varies from demon to demon. Some you merely have to impress with your accomplishments, while others would require you to best them in battle. After all this is done, the tricky part comes up. The applicant for the new Demon Lord position must best the current Demon Lord in a contest of their choosing. Or if the current Demon Lord is deceased then you must obtain the recommendation of all the current living Demon Lords. Also, because of the longevity of demons, the actual process of becoming a Demon Lord could take hundreds of years."
"Thank you very much for that insightful explanation," Naruto said with a grin, "Now we move on to our Character Appreciation Segment. Today we have Minato. Come on out."
Minato walks in dressed in his flaming cloak and takes the seat that was previously occupied by Kyuubi. "Thank you for having me."
"No problem," Naruto replied, "Now today we would like to discuss your morals. Is that ok with you?"
"That's ok… I guess," Minato said with a confused look on his face.
"Now," Naruto began, "According to our resources, you have a solid belief that Family is very important to you, correct."
"Yes."
"It has also come to our attention that you also hold you village in fairly high regard as well."
"Correct."
"Now I have a question for you," Naruto said with a grin, "If a giant nine tailed demon fox suddenly attacked your village without any prior notice, would you seal said demon inside your newborn child that your wife died giving birth to or would you find some unknown orphan to do so instead?"
'What the heck kind of question is that,' Minato thought puzzled, "Well I couldn't really ask any other person to give up their child, and I couldn't condemn some nameless child like that either, so I guess yes I would."
"WHAT WAS THAT," A sudden cry came out from the side as an enraged Kushina stormed onto the stage, "MINATO NAMIKAZE! HOW DARE YOU EVEN THINK OF SUCH A THING!"
"Now Kushina," Minato replied, looking like a dear aught in head lights, "It would be for the good of the village and as the Hokage I couldn't really ask anyone else to give up their chil"
"I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT," Kushina shouted, "WHEN WE GET HOME YOU ARE GETTING SUCH A THRASHING THAT YOU WON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT LIMB GOES THROUGH THE SLEEVES OF YOUR CLOAK BY THE TIME I'M THROUGH WITH YOU!"
Minato wimpered as his angry wife dragged him offstage. "Well now that that is over with, we can Continue on to our Mythical Creatures portion! Today we have not one or two, but three creatures featured today. Also, you will finally be learning Kyuubi's first name!"
The crowd cheered and whistled as a screen opened up near the back of the stage and began to show various text.
Name: Naruto (First Name)
Age: Mental (13), Chronological (20)
Species: Demon Fox
Tails: Three (Currently)
Known Relatives: Father, Mother, First Kyuubi (Distant relative on mothers side)
Hobbies: Training, pulling pranks, and spending time with his Hime
Favorite Techniques: Shadow Clones, Shadow Tools (See translations at bottom), and Fox Fire
Naruto is a young (by demon standards) demon fox with a taste for pranks, as inherited from his father, but also a strong sense of honor, as inherited from his mother. He also has an unusually high tolerance for humans, unlike most other demons. In demon society, he is the closest thing to a prince that you will find, as he is the son of the current Kyuubi, and a descendent of the very first Kyuubi. Despite this fact, he has no desire to let this fame lead him through life, preferring to stand on own two (or four) feet.
Name: Rena (First name) (4)
Age: Mental (30's), Chronological (??? Because it isn't nice to ask a woman her age)
Species: Albino Demon Fox
Tails: Five
Known Relatives: Father, Mate, Son (Naruto), First Kyuubi (Distant relative)
Hobbies: Clothes Designing and Sewing (Although the later she isn't very good at)
Favorite Techniques: Fox Fire
Rena is the mate of the current Kyuubi, and the descendant of the very first Kyuubi, making her the equivalent of royalty in demon society. It wasn't always like this however. For the longest time she was shunned because of her unusual colored eyes and fur, not to mention the fact that she was the runt of her litter. She was constantly being upstaged by her older, more "Accomplished Siblings" so for the longest time she had very little prospect of finding a Mate. That is, until she met the current Kyuubi (He was still travelling with the Sage of six paths at the time). Kyuubi was almost instantly captivated by her silver fur and amethyst eyes and promptly asked her to be his mate. Rena was reluctant at first and her father didn't help matters either. Quote "I will not have any child of mine, total disappointment or not, be the mate of some no name demon who associates himself so willingly with humans!" Unquote. Now you see, Rena had a rebellious streak that rarely showed itself, but once her father said these words, she immediately did all in her power to defy him. After awhile, she actually fell in love with Kyuubi, and the two did end up being mates. More on this later.
Name: Fukushin (True Name) (5)
Title: Kyuubi
Age: Mentally (30's), Chronological (800-estimated)
Species: Demon Fox
Tails: Nine (Of Course)
Known Relatives: Mate, Son
Hobbies: Flirting, Drinking, Gambling
Favorite Technique: Shadow Clones and Shadow Tools
Fukushin is a rather odd specimen of a demon. It has nothing to do with womanizing habits (womanizing is frowned upon in demon society) or his unusual taste for human delicacies, but the fact that he so willingly associates with humans beyond the point of just obtaining a first name. He actually traveled with the Sage of Six Paths for a little bit (A little bit for a demon is about 20 or so years) and helped him achieve his goals. He also had big dreams of becoming the next Kyuubi, something that was unheard of for a demon with no known relatives. Despite this fact, he quickly rose up through the ranks of demon society using his charm and skill. While it is true that he is a womanizer, he does not hit on human women (ever since the incident involving a certain Uchiha) and will only really love one demon, his mate Rena.
"Well that's all folks," Naruto said as the text faded off the screen, "Now to finish up this segment of Son of Kyuubi extra, we have our second Reviewer Appreciation Segment, in honor of getting more than 100 reviews. We will hopefully see you all soon. Goodbye and Goodnight!"

Again I apologize for the length and how long it took me to update, and I would also like to apologize in advance about next chapter as it probably won't be coming out anytime soon. Also, there is no poll this time because next chapter will be focusing more on the story rather than the extra's so please be patient with me. As always, thanks for reading Son of Kyuubi and I hope to hear from you soon.
