A/N: I'm going to play with the ages a bit so bear with me on that. Instead of six, I'll make Naruto eight years old. People asked about Yugito and I had her at Nineteen, but I'll reduce it to sixteen. That's all people. I'll just say that Fem. Nibi and Fem. Kyuubi will be added also, but that's all.
Naruto continued to walk into the village as Kirabi and Yugito followed after him. Naruto had a never ending smile on his face on his face as he looked over the place. Yugito walked a bit faster to catch up with Naruto along with Kirabi. Yugito having caught up to Naruto stopped him for a minute as Naruto turned around to face her. Yugito gave him a soft smile as Kirabi managed to catch up to the two.
"Well Naruto-kun, do you want to go home first or pick up your stuff for your training?" Yugito asked him. Naruto gave her a foxy grin as he shrugged his shoulders.
"I don't really mind what we do first Yugito-chan. I'm not tired if that's what your wondering. Can we get my stuff first?" Naruto asked her. Yugito nodded with a chuckle as she, Naruto and Kirabi walked towards a weapons shop. Kirabi turned his head to the right and smiled as he pointed to a weapons.
"Hey yo Gaki. Dat place right here is da perfect place for you. Trust in da' famous B-sama's instincts," Kirabi rapped as Naruto and Yugito turned to the shop. Naruto's interest sparkled as he ran into the store as Yugito and Kirabi followed.
Naruto opened the door as he heard the bell ring signifying his presence along with his two new friends as he looked around the shop. Naruto stared in awe of everything as he wondered what he should get for his training. Naruto looked around as his eyes stopped on a few kunai and shuriken packs. Yugito and Kirabi stayed near the door as they wanted to see how Naruto shopped and if he would need their help with anything. Naruto, having spent most of his days running from the villagers and their tantrums about him, knew about the type of weapons which were good to use. Naruto picked up six standard kunai and shuriken sets and took them to the counter for purchase. Yugito turned to the cashier and smiled as she pulled out her wallet.
"How much for all this stuff?" Yugito asked the man. Naruto was expecting to be turned away, but surprisingly he wasn't as the cashier went through everything and added the total.
"For all this it's 770.30 yen," the man said to her. Yugito nodded as she took out the required amount of money and paid the man. Naruto looked around the place a bit more as Kirabi came up to him.
"Hey kid, you gonna be my student. We gonna have ta' get you two cool swords for da trainin'," Bee told him. Naruto chuckled with a nod as Bee looked around the store for a sword for Naruto. Bee stopped at a katana and gave a big grin as he took the sword.
"Yo kid, check this piece of steel out. What do you think?" Bee said to Naruto. Naruto noticed the sword as he pulled it out of the sheath and gasped at the steel. It was pure white and rather long and heavy, but Naruto felt that he could hold it firmly in his hand without too much trouble. Bee nodded while he turned to the next sword. Bee took the second sword and inspected it as he looked at the one Naruto was holding. Bee nodded as he gave a thumbs up to Naruto. Naruto smiled as he too the sword from Bee and looked it over. Naruto, being a bit simple minded due to his age, could only hop up and down with excitement around the store. Yugito motioned for Naruto to put the swords on the counter as the man rag up the price for the two weapons as Yugito got ready to pay, but was stopped by Bee.
"Whoa there Yugi-chan. I'll take care of these two swords. The boy and I gonna have a real fun time wit' these," Bee told her. Yugito gave Bee a blank look, but nodded as she backed away. Bee walked up to the man and took out some money.
"What's da price for these swords baby?" Bee asked as the store owner sweatdropped.
"The cost is 26,960.50 yen," The man said to Bee. Bee gasped as he stepped back and placed his hand over his heart.
"The people are ruthless. They gonna bleed me dry. I can't take much more of dis," Bee said as Yugito face-palmed herself. Naruto chuckled at his antics as Bee paid for the swords. Naruto, Yugito, and Bee collected everything and walked to Yugito's house, which wasn't very far.
Yugito's House
Everyone arrived at Yugito's house as Naruto took in it's features. The house wasn't small, but it wasn't big either. It looked rather quaint for a living space. The house had a bunch of slid-in doors as Yugito opened the front door for Naruto and Bee. Naruto came into the house as he took off some shoes along with Bee. Yugito took them to the living room as everyone set Naruto's things on the couch. Everyone sat in the room a bit as Bee and Yugito glanced at Naruto for a few minutes. Naruto feeling their stares turned to each of them and made a blank face as he wondered why they were staring.
"What's wrong?" Naruto asked them. Yugito and Bee turned to each other and nodded as Yugito sat a bit closer to Naruto and placed her hand on his shoulder.
"Naruto-kun, do you remember when you told me how you were treated back in Konoha?" Yugito told him. Naruto nodded as he wondered where this was going, but didn't think to hard about it. Bee narrowed his eyes behind his glasses as a frown became visible on his face. Yugito decided to continue as she braced Naruto for their news.
"Naruto-kun, we think you are one of the containers of a Bijuu," Yugito told him. Naruto raised an eyebrow at the new word and gave a confused look.
"What's a bijuu?" Naruto asked her. Yugito turned to Bee as he had the most experience in things like that as Bee stood up.
"A bijuu is also known as a tailed beast. They are literally large amounts of chakra that are given a human form. People tend to fear them for their power and all are placed inside a host or as people call them 'jinchuuriki'," Bee finished as Naruto took the words in. Naruto was finally beginning to understand. The glares, the hunts, and the constant neglect. All if it was beginning to make sense as Naruto looked down at the floor.
"So I'm a jinchuuriki?" Naruto asked them. Yugito and Bee nodded as they knew Naruto had to hear this. Naruto nearly cried as Yugito took him into a hug.
"But you aren't a demon Naruto-kun. Don't let anyone tell you any different," Yugito told him. Naruto stayed silent for a few minutes as Bee and Yugito wondered if they should have told him this early. Naruto looked back up at them and gave them a small reassuring smile that he was okay to continue with the conversation. Bee and Yugito took the suggestion as Naruto decided to ask a question.
"So how many bijuu are there? And which one do I have?" Naruto asked them. Yugito and Bee glanced at each other and nodded as they turned back to Naruto.
"There are a total of nine bijuu in the world. I would have to figure that you have the Kyuubi," Bee told him. Naruto raised an eyebrow at him as he wondered about it.
"So does that mean I have the strongest bijuu in terms of the number of tails?" Naruto asked them with a little excitement in his voice. Yugito and Bee chuckled as they wondered if they were worried for nothing.
"Yeah Naruto-kun, you have the strongest bijuu. I'm actually surprised it didn't overtake you," Yugito told him. Naruto shuddered at the feeling of being overtaken by someone, but dismissed the thought as he turned back to Bee and Yugito.
"So how do you two know so much about the bijuu?" Naruto asked them. Bee and Yugito smirked as Bee pointed to himself.
"Please gaki, you lookin at the da' famous jinchuuriki of da Hachibi," Bee told him. Naruto gasped as he turned to Yugito. Yugito chuckled as she pointed to herself also.
"I'm the jinchuuriki of the Nibi," Yugito told him. Naruto gasped a bit wider as both jinchuuriki chuckled at his reaction.
"Y-Your both jinchuuriki?" Naruto asked them still in slight wonder of them. Both nodded with smiles on their faces as Naruto stood up.
"Can you talk to your bijuu?" Naruto asked them. Both sent him a blank look before bursting out in laughter. Naruto blushed in slight embarrassment as he wondered if he said something wrong. Both calmed down soon enough as Yugito decided to answer Naruto's question.
"Yes we can Naruto-kun. It's one of the many things jinchuuriki can do along with accessing their respective bijuu's chakra. We have to train to use it effectively," Yugito told him. Naruto nodded in understanding as he sat on the floor.
"Can I talk to mine?" Naruto asked with the word 'excited' written over his face. Yugito sweatdropped while Bee gave a thumbs up to Naruto as he sat down also.
"Sure kid. Just sat down right there and focus for a few seconds. You will know where you are soon enough," Bee told him. Naruto nodded with a smile as he sat in a meditative pose and concentrated for a few minutes. Naruto opened his eyes as he stared at the sewer-like structure that was his mind. Naruto walked around for a while as he came up to some giant gates as his eyes zoomed in a small piece of paper that said 'seal'. Naruto walked up to the gates, but couldn't see anyone as he decided to be a little reckless and walked past the gates. Naruto walked deeper past the gates until he turned his head fast. Naruto looked around, but saw no one as he continued deeper. Naruto couldn't shake the feeling that he was being watched as he stopped for a second and looked at the water. Naruto gasped softly as he saw a tall figure behind him. Naruto moved his eyes to the side as he saw the figure give a smile as she placed her hand on his shoulder. Naruto gasped as he turned around fast and accidently dropped in the water as he stared at a red-haired woman. The woman had a blank look on her face, but chuckled then laughed as she held her sides. Naruto huffed as he glared at her which only served to make her smile more. Naruto smirked as he got up and splashed some of the water at her. Said woman stopped laughing as she looked at her wet clothes. The woman glared at Naruto, but stopped as she saw his smile. The woman softly chuckled and began to wring out her wet hair. Naruto sat down as he looked up at her.
"I'm sorry for that. I couldn't help myself," Naruto told her. The woman turned to him and chuckled again as she sat down across from him.
"It's alright I guess. I love a good joke," she told him. Naruto nodded as he smiled at her.
"So who are you?" Naruto asked her. Said woman scratched the side of her cheek and gave a small grin.
"I'm Kyuubi. I'm your bijuu Naruto-kun," Kyuubi told him. Naruto widened his eyes as he stared at the hot looking woman in front of him. Naruto was totally surprised. To him, Kyuubi seemed like the nicest person aside from Yugito-chan and Kirabi. Kyuubi chuckled as she stood up deciding to answer Naruto's unspoken question.
"I'm in my human form. I don't use the giant fox form that most people see me as often as I should," Kyuubi responded bringing Naruto out of his daze. Naruto absently nodded as he steadily rose to his feet also.
"How do people call you scary or demon? You seem so nice," Naruto told her. Kyuubi hid a small blush that Naruto missed as she shrugged her shoulders.
"I know. It's like people haven't seen a giant fo with nine tails before," Kyuubi said with a pout. Naruto broke out into a laugh as he wondered if having a bijuu was this exciting for Yugito and Bee.
"They probably haven't Kyuubi-chan. Don't you think people would be scared of a giant fox with nine tails?" Naruto asked her. Kyuubi stopped her pout, but crossed her arms and closed her eyes as she nodded.
"Well it's not my fault that people are cowards. I'm generally peaceful. I'm the type of person if left alone will leave others alone. Your the only person not to be afraid of me," Kyuubi told him. Naruto sweatdropped as he scratched his cheek.
"Well you didn't show up as a giant fox so I think that had something to do with it," Naruto told her. Kyuubi widened her eyes slightly and nodded as both she and Naruto sat back down to have a small conversation.
"So to what do I owe the pleasure of seeing my landlord?" Kyuubi asked him. Naruto smirked as he rubbed the back of his head.
"I came to see if I could talk to you like Yugito-chan and Bee. They told me that it wasn't hard to do and I just came here to see you. I wanted to know if you wanted to be friends or at least acquaintances," Naruto told her. Kyuubi cocked her head to the side as she raised an eyebrow.
"You want to be friends with the main cause for your former villages' hatred of you?" Kyuubi asked him. Naruto's smile faltered a bit, but came back fast as Naruto crashed into her giving her a hug. Kyuubi gasped as this was the last thing she expected from him as Naruto decided to speak.
"From how you were earlier I can only wonder if you did it on purpose or accidently," Naruto told her. Kyuubi chuckled as Naruto let go and stepped back. Naruto reached out his hand and allowed Kyuubi to stand. Kyuubi raised an eyebrow again at his kindness. Seeing his smile, Kyuubi nearly lost her mind as she took a deep breath and let her feelings go.
"Why don't you hate me! I more than half expected you to shout at me when I told you my name. How are you not mad that I made your life miserable?" Kyuubi nearly shouted causing Naruto's smile to fade as he looked at the ground. Kyuubi gasped as she slightly covered her mouth and looked at Naruto. Kyuubi frowned as Naruto continued to look at the ground.
"Naruto-kun?" Kyuubi said wondering if she did something wrong. Naruto's eyes slowly came back up as he showed a bright determination in them. Kyuubi was taken aback by the fire in his eyes as Naruto gave her his best smile.
"I can't say for sure if your at fault or not Kyuubi-chan, but I highly doubt your evil. If you were evil you wouldn't have been such good company. I'm sure you and I can be friends," Naruto told her. Kyuubi widened her eyes as Naruto stuck out his hand at her.
"Well Kyuubi-chan? Will you help me become a great shinobi along with Yugito-chan?" Naruto asked her. Kyuubi seemed too stunned to answer, but slowly brought out her hand as she shook Naruto's hand. Naruto gave her his trademark smile as Kyuubi gave him a soft smile. Naruto soon got a gleam in his eye which made Kyuubi shudder slightly as Naruto sat back down.
"Alright Kyuubi-chan, let's talk terms of agreement," Naruto told her. Kyuubi dropped her jaw slightly at his new behavior, but chuckled with a nod soon enough as she sat down.
Outside the Mindscape
Yugito and Bee continued to watch Naruto as they wondered what was going on inside his mind. Yugito almost grew slightly concerned as Bee reassured her that Naruto would be fine. Yugito sighed as they continued to watch Naruto as said blond opened his eyes. As Naruto opened his eyes he met the intense gazes of Yugito and Bee on him as they wanted to know what happened with Naruto and Kyuubi. Naruto smiled as a way of taunting them which worked really well on Yugito as she tapped her arm repeatedly waiting for Naruto's answer.
"So kid. How did it go? Hangin' with da' Kyuubi?" Bee asked him. Naruto smiled as he decided to answer Bee's question and Yugito's unspoken questions.
"It went very well. She's quite nice and really cute. She's not at all mean like people say she is. If anything, she's quite the prankster," Naruto told them. Yugito and Bee raised a few curious eyebrows at his word as they wondered what the two talked about. Naruto took a small breath as he continued.
"She said we could be friends and we even struck a deal with each other," Naruto told them.
"And what kind of deal was that?" Yugito asked with a slight worry for Naruto in her voice. Naruto chuckled as he turned to Yugito to answer her question.
"We struck a deal that allows me to currently use two tails of her chakra since I would have to wait to control the others. In that exchange, she gets access to my senses, but I can cut her off if I want to. We also stay in telepathic contact for our own special purposes," Naruto told them. Bee and Yugito nodded in understanding as Yugito sighed.
"What's wrong Yugito-chan?" Naruto asked her as Bee turned to her also. Yugito looked from Naruto to Bee and back as she shrugged her shoulders.
"I'm jealous Naruto-kun. Kyuubi sounds very reasonable for a bijuu. At least your bijuu doesn't have a perverted mind," Yugito said as Naruto and Bee raised their eyebrows at her.
"That's mean kitten. I'm not perverted...much. However, little Naruto is so cute. Can I have him kitten?" Nibi asked her as Yugito forced back a blush from coming to her face. Yugito sighed again as she decided to take to her tenant.
"Nibi why are you always like this? You are perverted. Ever since I met Naruto-kun, you've been assaulting me with questions of why I don't claim him for a mate. How wrong are you Nibi?" Yugito asked in thought as Nibi chuckled in her cage.
"It's not my fault that little Naruto-kun's got that fire in his eyes that would just make any woman-,"
"Don't you dare finish that sentence Nibi!" Yugito yelled out in thought as Nibi laughed in her cage.
"Maybe you should stop focusing on me and look back to Naruto-kun and Bee, cause to them you've been making weird faces for a while now," Nibi told her. Yugito snapped out of her connection to Nibi as she did indeed see Naruto and Bee looking at her like she had gone insane with her emotions that ranged from blushing to slight irritation. Yugito blushed from the embarrassment as she slowly opened her mouth.
"What are you two looking at? Bee, shouldn't you start training Naruto-kun. You should go do that," Yugito said fast as she ran out the living room. Naruto sweatdropped along with Bee as said man stood to his feet.
"She's right lil nine. No time to be sittin around. Let's go out back and I will begin your training," Bee told him. Naruto nodded as Bee gave him a change of clothes as Naruto grabbed all of his equipment and ran out back with Bee to begin his training.
With Yugito
Yugito ran up to her room and closed the door as she tried to calm the blush from the embarrassing scene she just had. While she tried to get her blush down, Yugito could only narrow her eyes as she heard Nibi laughing as she rolled around in her cage. Yugito sighed as she wondered why she had to endure the most pervert minded bijuu out of all the nine.
With Bee and Naruto
Bee and Naruto stood in the back of the house as Naruto waited for Bee's training. Naruto placed all his weapons in a pouch, but left his swords in the house as he wasn't ready to use those just yet. Bee smirked as his new student.
"Alright lil nine. We gonna start you off on some endurance training. You ain't got the body you ain't gonna get the control. Start doing some push-ups and sit-ups and laps around the house until I stop you," Bee told him. Naruto nodded with a smile as he start doing his push-ups just like Bee ordered. Bee nodded as he left Naruto outside and went inside the house. Bee sat on the couch and sighed as he decided to talk to his bijuu.
"So you have hopes for that kid?" The Hachibi asked his partner. Bee smirked as he laid on the Hachibi's forehead.
"He's a good kid. He'll go far. I'm sure of it. He's even got Miss Kyuubi on his side," Bee said as Hachibi made a low grumble.
"She always did have weird interests when it came to guys. She's just like Nibi," Hachibi said as Bee began to rap, much to his tenant's annoyance.
"Hey yo both Kyuubi and Nibi got a thing for lil nine. Little Nine is quite the man for a boy. Dat kid knows how to do his thing without even knowing it," Bee rapped as Hachibi sweatdropped at his actions.
"Remind me why we're partners again. I'm sure I must have been insane at the time," Hachibi said to Bee. Bee gasped as he fell back on Hachibi's head.
"Oh my heart's a bleedin'. My partner is a cold hearted Octo-bull," Bee rapped again as Hachibi wondered how he could kill Bee without himself dying to relieve himself of his partner's rapping.
Later that Day
Naruto huffed as he dropped to the ground in exhaustion of his efforts as he felt the burning or his arms and legs from the stamina training. Bee came out of the house and clapped as Naruto glared at the man.
"Good job lil nine. You got some impressive stamina there. That's all for today. You lasted longer than I thought you would," Bee told him. Naruto sighed as he dropped to the ground with a smile on his face as Bee plopped the boy on his shoulder and walked into the house. By this time, Yugito was out of her room as she saw the exhausted Naruto on Bee's shoulder.
"You sure made him endure that stamina training," Yugito said as Bee put Naruto on the couch. Bee turned to Yugito and smirked as he threw his hands out.
"Da kid's tough Yugi-chan. I've never seen some much energy in one kid since you. He's going to be interesting," Bee said as Yugito rolled her eyes at his rapping, never seeing the purpose to it, but didn't say anything. Yugito looked at Naruto's sleeping face. Yugito gave a small smile which didn't go unnoticed by Bee as the man smiled.
"Wanna kiss his cheek Yugi-chan?" Bee asked as Yugito gave a small blush as she stuttered at his question.
"S-Shut it Bee. I'm not like that," Yugito said as she stormed off into the kitchen to make Naruto something to eat for when he woke up. Bee chuckled as he, just like Nibi, wasn't going to let this go so easily. For both it was always rare to see a flustered Yugito as she was never interesting in any type of guy. Neither Bee nor Nibi were going to let her live without doing this on a daily basis. They both just found a good source for entertainment.
Nighttime
Naruto squinted his eyes as he opened them to see he was on the couch in the living room. Naruto struggled to get up, but for all his life couldn't as the pain in his arms and legs weighed him down. Kyuubi decided to speak as she heard Naruto struggle.
"You know the saying Naruto-kun. No pain no gain," Kyuubi told him. Naruto chuckled as he withstood the pain from his chuckle as he decided to respond to Kyuubi and her remark.
"Whoever said that obviously had a few problems in the head," Naruto replied. Kyuubi stifled a laugh as her jailor, but nodded in agreement as Naruto turned to see Yugito coming downstairs to see him awake.
"Oh Naruto-kun, your up. Well I made you some dinner so let's go eat," Yugito told him. At the sound of the word 'food' Naruto forgot the pain and moved fast the kitchen as Yugito saw only a yellow blur run past her. Yugito turned her head to the kitchen to see Naruto waiting for her as she entered the room. Yugito prepared a plate for Naruto while Naruto took out the chair for Yugito. Yugito accepted the gesture of gentlemanliness as she sat down in the chair. Naruto sat in his own seat as both said grace and dug into the food. Naruto gasped as he gave a wide smile as Yugito looked at his reaction.
"How is it?" Yugito asked him. Naruto smiled with a quick nod of approval.
"It's amazing Yugito-chan. Your a good cook. I love it," Naruto told her. Yugito chuckled with a nod as she ate her food also. Naruto looked around the room, then turned back to Yugito.
"Where is Bee-san?" Naruto asked her. Yugito swallowed her food as she decided to answer Naruto's question.
"He left awhile ago. He said he would come tomorrow for more of your training. I'll be helping tomorrow also so it'll be a bit tougher for you," Yugito told him with a playful voice. Naruto groaned as he wondered how he got such a fate.
"He also said he would bring you some clothes tomorrow since we didn't get you any today," Yugito told him. Naruto nodded as he finished his food along with Yugito as Naruto looked around while Yugito grabbed a glass of milk.
"Where do I sleep Yugito-chan?" Naruto asked her. Yugito smiled as she took him to the extra room she had while drinking her glass of milk. Yugito opened the door as Naruto came inside.
"This is your room Naruto-kun. Use it well. You can bring your stuff in later. For now, you should get some sleep for tomorrow," Yugito told him. Naruto nodded in agreement as Yugito closed the door.
"See you tomorrow Yugito-chan," Naruto told her. Yugito smiled with a nod as she left. Naruto glanced over his room as he took off the clothes that Bee gave him. Naruto stayed in his T-shirt and boxers as he climbed into bed.
"Well this was an interesting day," Naruto said as he heard the soft voice of his tenant.
"I'll say it was. I got to meet my jailor and he is quite the good guy. I'm glad I made a deal with him," Kyuubi said as Naruto nodded.
"I'm glad also Kyuubi-chan. Well I have to go to sleep. Talk to you tomorrow. Good night," Naruto said to her. Kyuubi nodded as she spoke before breaking the connection.
"Good night Naruto-kun. Talk to you tomorrow or I'll assault your dreams with certain images," Kyuubi said with a smirk. Naruto shuddered slightly as he opened his eyes fast.
"You wouldn't dare!" Naruto said as Kyuubi scoffed.
"Try me Naruto-kun," Kyuubi told him. Naruto cursed as he closed his eyes and turned off the lights knowing that he was going to be tired tomorrow morning.
Back in Konoha
People still seemed to be celebrating the fact that the hated Kyuubi brat was gone as Sarutobi looked in shame of his village. While doing some paperwork, someone shunshined into the office messing up the papers. Sarutobi looked at the person and could tell they were far from happy.
"Sarutobi, what the hell do you mean you lost Naruto?" the man said as Sarutobi looked down at the desk.
"I'm sorry Jiraiya, but we have no idea where he is. I'm still hoping that they didn't kill him. I don't know what to do," Sarutobi told him. Jiraiya cursed as he slammed his hand into the wall cracking it slightly making some of the anbu hidden in the room flinch in fear. Jiraiya turned to leave as Sarutobi stopped him.
"Jiraiya where are you going?" Sarutobi asked as Jiraiya scoffed at his sensei.
"I'm going to find my godson. I can't believe I left him like this. Sarutobi if I find out that these villagers killed him. You, them, and anyone else better pray to Kami that I don't find the people who did do it or I will unleash all hell on them," Jiraiya said with a face that made even Sarutobi sweat. Sarutobi sighed with a nod as he sat back in his chair as Jiraiya walked out the room.
"I'm sorry for all of this Minato. I should have done better with protecting your son. You must be so distraught at your villagers for how they are acting," Sarutobi said he sighed and went back to his paperwork.
Back In Kumo
The night air reigned in Konoha as the full moon was in full bloom over the sky. Naruto slept peacefully in his new bed as he silently cursed his luck of having Kyuubi put images of a certain blond woman in Naruto's mind as he slept. Naruto grumbled quietly as he spoke in his sleep.
"I'm gonna make you regret this Kyuubi-chan," Naruto said in sleepy voice which made Kyuubi chuckle at his embarrassment over the dreams she was sending him. Kyuubi was going to have so much fun with her new partner. She just knew it for a fact.
