I'm back bitches! Since I got a decent amount of reviews, despite some of them not making any sense, I decided to try and write another chapter.
"Who the fuck are you?" the kyuubi asked, referring to the seven new forms that had appeared.
"I'm…I'm not entirely sure," responded the tallest one aloud. "Do any of you guys know who you are?"
"Not really," acknowledged one man, with a rather large afro.
"Can't say I can," answered another, who appeared to be drawing on a notepad.
"…What was the question?" asked yet another, who was emanating a thick, white smoke from his mouth.
"Uhhh…" grumbled the one whose was short and squat, with what appeared to be bones sticking out of his skin.
"Is something burning?" asked another who was dressed in what appeared to be several layers of heavy duty cloth.
"I think that's just you," explained a rather skinny man who had a small sword strapped to his back.
"Yeah, I don't think we even know where we are," the tallest started again, he was wearing what appeared to be baggy pants, ninja sandals, Shinobi armor, and had a large sword strapped to his back, "Do you know where we are?"
"I do… and I think I know who you guys are, too," the kyuubi addressed the seven.
Naruto slowly lifted up her head, groggily rubbed her eyes and inspected her alarm clock. 'Yup, it's early o'clock,' she got up and sighed. 'Well Kurama, I hope you're ready to deal with the Dynamic Brow Duo and their screams of youth,' she told her furry companion.
"Oh I am, and if you happen to fall asleep in the academy, I have a few people you should- God get off me! No I will not- FINE! Kumajiro says hi. Don't worry about not knowing who he is, I can explain that." Kurama told his host, who sweat dropped at the outburst. "Just get to Gai and have him train you, and hurry! I don't think I can take much more of these guys."
"You got it fox," Naruto said aloud, and got dressed, careful to find something that would not fall off, settling on a pair of black biking shorts that went to just above her knee and a black t shirt with her normal jacket.
Making her way towards the training ground where Gai and Lee are always training at, or man hugging at. Either way, there was a high chance that she would find them there.
"Alright Lee, today we will start off a little easy, I think we'll only do 500 laps around the field." Gai's voice boomed.
"YES GAI-SENSEI!" Lee responded just as loud.
'Oh this gonna be fun,' Naruto thought to herself, 'what do you think Kurama?'
"No you cannot ride me like a horse! What? Oh, sorry kit, you know you need to get back up to your original strength, and these are the guys to who could do it easily. Now if you'd excuse me, I have some people who are about to get on my last nerve." The Kyuubi told her.
"I really have to wonder who they are, if they can piss him off THAT much." Naruto said aloud.
Turning into the training ground, Naruto was greeted to a sight that she would probably have to get used to in the coming months, Lee and Gai's infamous 'man hugs' complete with rising sun background. 'Well, here goes nothing,' Naruto thought as she took a deep breath. "Gai-sensei!" she yelled to him. "I have come seeking to stoke my flames of youth! Can I train with you?"
Gai let go of Lee in order to look at the new arrival. What he could see was a little girl, barely 5 feet tall, dressed in shorts and a long orange jacket asking to train under him. "What do you think Lee? Should we let her train with us?" Gai asked his pupil.
"YOSH! Yes Gai-sensei, I can sense that she too, is a genius of hard work." Lee told his teacher.
Gai disappeared in a burst of speed and reappeared in front of Naruto in a flash of dust, she did not flinch at this. "That seals it young lady! I would be honored to train another hard working student!" Naruto smiled at this.
"I promise not to let you down Gai-sensei!" Naruto yelled.
"I can tell, now let's do 500 laps around the village in celebration of a new spirit of youth joining us! But, young miss, you may want to put this on," he said as he handed her a green jumpsuit and orange legwarmers. "It will let everyone know of your new direction with the fire of youth!"
"Aye, Gai-sensei," Naruto yelled as she went into the forest to change.
The next few hours were spent pushing Naruto's new, underdeveloped muscles to the brink of their ability, and adjusting to the weights that were in the legwarmers Gai gave her. When they were done, not only were Lee and Gai jumping for joy, they wanted to do more. But Naruto, whom was lying on the ground exhausted from all the work, had to excuse herself because she had to go to the academy.
"YOSH! Naruto-chan, I hope to see you again tomorrow so we can brighten our flames of youth together!" Lee yelled as he waved good bye to his new training mate.
"Uh-huh, yeah sure Lee," and a thumbs up was all Naruto could weakly get out before staggering out of view.
At the academy, it was, luckily, lecture day. So Naruto decided to take this time for some much needed rest. But that would have to wait, as the usual morning antics were in full swing.
'Sasuke's fan club is fangirling Kiba is talking to Akamaru, Shino is being…Shino, Shikamaru was sleeping…already,' Naruto thought, "Oh yeah… sleep…" Naruto murmured to herself before attempting to make her way to the back. Unfortunately Sasuke's fan club seemed to take a dislike to the smell of Naruto's spandex jumpsuit.
"Oh god! She smells worse than Kiba!" one girl shouted.
"Get her away! Get her away!" another screeched.
"I bet this is just another way you're trying to get Sasuke's attention. First the black highlights, now this! You're so pathetic Naruto." Sakura told her in an even more annoying voice than usual.
The next movement could not be seen. Naruto's hand made its way around Sakura's throat so fast that nobody even saw it. She turned her head slowly towards the girl in her hand, a set of bangs covering one side of her face, growling in an animalistic way. But what was the strangest sight was that her eyes had changed color. Not to the Kyuubi's red and silted, but to an icy blue that almost seemed white.
"The drapes match the carpet, bitch," the possessed Naruto said as she let her go and made her way to a seat and fell down in a heap in the seat, fast asleep.
Once again finding herself in her mindscape, Naruto made her way to the Kyuubi's cage, only to be greeted by a rather unfamiliar sight, the Kyuubi was running away from a rather large man with stark white hair.
"I just want to love you!" the man yelled.
"Stop it Kumajiro, she's here, she's here!" Kurama yelled to his assailant.
"Yeah dude, you should probably settle down before you get yourself killed," said a man who was furiously scribbling down in a notebook.
"You guys are no fun," Kumajiro pouted and sat down.
"Ok, who are you and what the fuck are you guys doing in my mind?" Naruto asked completely confused as to what was happening.
"I think I can answer that, kit. You see, I wasn't always sealed inside a host," the Kyuubi started. "Once upon a time I was free and able to do whatever I pleased. So I did what any nearly omnipotent being would do, I went after the strongest fighters of the time, and when I would defeat them, I would eat their body in an attempt to gain their power. The seven men here are the strongest fighters I ever defeated," Kurama told her with some pride in his voice.
"Except the Yondiame," Naruto sniggered at him.
"That doesn't count and you know it!" Kurama yelled and pointed a finger at her. "Anyway, when I transported you back in time, I accidently let these knuckleheads loose too."
"Who are they? I don't recognize any of them, and the one with the little sword doesn't look all that tough. Where'd he go?" Naruto said as the skinny man disappeared out of sight, looking around.
"Behind you, girly," The skinny man said with his sword drawn and pointing at her back. "Arkos Zukashima, at your service, m'lady," with that, Arkos bowed to Naruto. "Master of time-space ninjutsu and a user of hyper time, with that he disappeared again and reappeared back in the cage.
"Like I said, strong," Kurama repeated to her.
"Ok, can I at least learn who you guys are?" Naruto asked the group.
"Kumajiro Momochi, I can summon bears, use water ninjutsu and I am a master at taijutsu and kenjutsu." Kumajiro told her as she looked straight into his ice blue eyes.
"That sword you have seems really familiar, but I just can't place it." Naruto told him, unbeknownst to her that it was actually the legendary Kubiriki Houcho, which eventually made its way down the line to Zabuza Momochi.
"My name is Masashi Aatexisuto, I use my drawings as weapons." The man who was always drawing said.
"Like my friend Sai." Naruto exclaimed.
"Except that this guy's stuff is actually real, not an ink creature," Kurama corrected her.
"I'm Arichi Motokushi, I'm like an illusion expert and my smoke has hallucinating properties," said the man whose mouth was constantly streaming a pungent smoke.
"What is that on your back?" Naruto asked, pointing to a spider like creature that was crawling on Arichi's back.
"Huh… Oh that's just Norm, my hermit crab. Isn't he cute?" Arichi asked as Norm seemed to get bigger.
"Why is he so big?" Naruto asked the strange man.
"Don't know, must have fed him right," was the response.
"I'm Ishigami Kaguya, and I can do my clan techniques." The short and squat one told him in somewhat of a daze.
"I'm Kenta Shouboushi, and if you need something on fire, I'm your man," said the man who was under layers of heavy duty cloth.
"And I'm Beni Hideki," said the man with the rather large afro. "I use my hair as a medium for my jutsu."
"That's all well and good Kyuubi, but what does this have to do with me?" Naruto asked his resident demon.
"Well it turns out that Beni was one of the best sealers ever, and he told me that he can make it so that you can summon them in battle to help you out, they can also take you or your shadow clones over in dire situations," The Kyuubi explained to her. "And these are ninja who battled me and almost won, so just imagine having them help out."
"That seems a little too easy, what's the catch?" Naruto asked the Kyuubi.
"Unless I take you over, they can only be summoned long enough to counter an attack, but even then that should be long enough to turn the tide of a battle in your favor," The Kyuubi told her.
"Alright Beni-sama, ink me up." Naruto told her new friend
The next day, being Saturday, Naruto did not have class. So the Kyuubi commanded her to go to the training ground far away from the village, so no one could see her.
'Do I have to Kurama?' Naruto whined to her demon.
"Yes, and you will do the shadow clone training method, at least to get to a decent skill set." The Kyuubi told her.
'What should I start with?' Naruto asked, not knowing where to begin.
"How about you split up your clones into groups and do the chakra exercises." Kurama told her. "Get to it kit!"
"Yes sir!" Naruto said aloud.
The next few hours were spent doing a combination of tree climbing, water walking and leaf balancing exercises. This did end up with her gaining at least a decent control over her monstrous amount of chakra, of course, Naruto, still being Naruto did not let up on training until she was almost passing out from chakra exhaustion. For her cool down, she decided to meditate and try and contact the new residents of her seal.
'You guys there?' Naruto thought towards the seven ninja in her head.
"I am!" Kumajiro yelled to her.
'Oh god…' Naruto sweat dropped, she just HAD to get the most immature of the seven.
"Don't think that. I just like to have fun, but I do have something to show you. I need you to imagine that you're holding my hand and make a shadow clone, got it?" Kumajiro told her.
Naruto did as was commanded and to her surprise, she did not see a normal clone of herself, but instead Kumajiro was standing in front of her.
"I thought that would work," he said as he started opening and closing his hand. "Ok, so since Kurama and I are now officially besties, he decided that it would be best for me to try and train you."
"Not really," Kurama told Naruto, "I just couldn't take his incessant whining and trying to ride me." Naruto sniggered at this.
"Ok brat," Kumajiro told her, "this is what it's gonna be like for the next couple of weeks, I want you to train with those cool guys in the jumpsuits in the morning, then go to the academy, of course you have to purposefully fail at practically everything," Naruto raised her hand to object but Kumajiro, in a rare instance of wisdom, put his hand up and addressed her objection, "we don't want to change too much in the time stream. The reason you were placed on the same team as Sasuke last time was because he was 'rookie of the year' and you were the dead last of the class, and I think it would be a good idea to be with that one guy you call Kakashi, because he can instruct you on how to use the Sharingan."
Naruto was shocked at all the information that was presented to her, she had pegged Kumajiro just as a goof off, but she now understood why Kurama said that these were some of the best warriors to ever walk the planet. "Ok Kumajiro-sensei," Naruto told him.
"Don't call me sensei, titles make my skin crawl." Kumajiro said to her with an iffy look on his face.
"Gotcha'," Naruto responded.
"Ok, after the academy, I want you to come here for our training sessions." He told her.
"Why here?" Naruto asked.
"Well, aside from it being rather far from the village, there is plenty of water here so you can practice my water jutsus," Kumajiro answered her, "Obviously we can't start today, but there is something that I want to do today."
"What's that?" Naruto asked, yet again.
"Well, when I was alive, I was called the best swordsman alive, and I never really did get to pass on my techniques in person, just through some scrolls and battle accounts, so I want to get started on teaching you the basics, at least until I can find you a good sword." He answered his new protégé.
"Alright!" Naruto exclaimed in excitement.
And that was how the next three months went for Naruto. During the morning, she would train with Lee and Gai-sensei. She would then sleep through most of her classes at the academy, and she would purposefully fail most of her tests and screw up on everything else. But after the academy, she would bust her ass with Kumajiro, who had got her a rather simple katana, nothing too fancy, of course with this training she had also increased her repertoire of jutsu, not only water but the one or two wind jutsu that Kumajiro knew she had learned, completely mastering the water dragon jutsu. She also studied Genjutsu with Arichi, only really learning how to detect and cancel out the illusions.
Unfortunately for Naruto, but fortunately for the Kyuubi, her sweet green spandex suit, and most of her other clothes were destroyed in the training with Kumajiro, so she had to replace her wardrobe with what little money she had. Of course, when she went shopping, she had one of the seven with her, which usually prevented her being over charged, mainly because they were all rather scary to any ninja, and downright frightening to anyone who wasn't. Her new outfit consisted of a fishnet shirt that went from her neck to her chest, covering her breasts was an orange tube-top. She covered herself with her old orange and blue jacket, which she rolled the sleeves up to show off her new seal tattoo where the seven ninja were, and left it unzipped. She wore blue Shinobi pants and sandals and when she would train with Kumajiro, she would strap her katana loosely behind her. She normally just tied her blond and black hair back to keep it out of her face.
"Well kit, today's the day of graduation. Are you ready for this?" Kurama asked, genuinely concerned about his container's fate this day.
'Yeah, I fail the test, steal the scroll and practice some other jutsu besides the shadow clone.' Naruto responded.
"That's only part of it; do you think you can face Iruka without telling him about what's gonna happen tonight?" Kurama asked, knowing full well that this would be one of the hardest parts of his container's new life.
'We can only wait and see, Kurama.' Naruto thought as she left for the academy, without her sword.
And it's finally done biznitches. Let me know what you guys think about the seven ninja, Ok? I'd love to hear your thoughts on them.
