That night, Naruto fell asleep right on his grandmothers lap. Deis said nothing for a long while, just looking at Naruto and stroking his hair and whiskers. "Now, love, you aren't going to do something violent, are you," Rei asked her. She glanced at him and he could see the raging storm in her eyes. "I was afraid of that."
"I will do nothing," she said, her voice soft and soothing, afraid to wake Naruto.
"So you say but I can tell when you are planning to do something."
She didn't reply, "My sweet little grandson, don't worry, I'll make it all better."
"I beg you, love," Rei said, getting a little desperate, "don't do it."
She looked at him and sighed. "I'll leave it standing, but at the very least, I am going there and bringing my daughter home." Rei sighed in relief.
—oo000oo—
Deis reluctantly gave Naruto to Rei before standing up and leaving. She was the oldest woman in all of Uzu aside from the original Deis, the mage that cast the spell that preserved their people. Over a thousand years, she had lived and a thousand more still waited her. In that time, she had mastered magic, swordplay, hand to hand, and many other forms of combat, she was the most powerful woman on earth, equal to her namesake. She had watched her clan and children grow, each one precious to her. So when someone close to her was threatened, she reacted violently. Everyone on Uzu knew this. So the moment she started walking, people saw her and knew to stay out of her way. Outside the Uzumaki clan home, she went to the middle of the street and began to growl. Her wings stretched out and began to grow as did the rest of her body. She roared her anger a moment before it became an actual roar. A blue lightning dragon stood in her place now, towering over buildings. She flapped her wings a few times before flying off into the air. Someone took her little girl from her and hurt her grandson, everyone knew this by now, so they also knew when she left, it was to make that person hurt. She flew until she saw Konoha and for a moment, was very tempted to level the whole city. So tempted that she was charging up her breath weapon without even realizing it. Dropping down into a clearing in the forest, she changed back, and headed for the village. Two chunin were standing guard at the gate, yawning as the sun came up. "Good morning, reason for..." She grabbed them and tossed them aside without stopping. "In-Intruder! Call the ANBU!"
Deis kept walking, smelling the man that smelled of tobacco smoke that still lingered on Naruto. Ninja were running around her, commanding her to stop. One came running up at her. She buffeted away with her wings. Another came at her from the other side and gave her a punch to the face. The man was surprised when the frail looking woman didn't go flying back down the street. Instead, her face only turned to the side. She looked back at him, a growl escaping her throat. Grabbing him, she held him up in the air. "Where is this 'Jiriaya' and 'Old Man' that hurt my grandson?"
"I, I don't know what you're talking about," he gasped. Deis threw him into a wall and continued walking. A serpentine fire dragon shot from one of them at her only to hit a kind of barrier. She glared at the caster the ring on her right hand began to pulse violently. She almost wanted to turn him to stone or a frog but instead, a wave of her hand and this green slime flew from it and hit him, holding him to a wall. The next to try and stop her was a team of ANBU, they ran at her at once. Deis relieved on of his sword with a palm strike to the wrist followed by the head. She kicked the next, sending her crashing into a wall, causing it to crack. The third slashed at her stomach with his sword. Pointless, even like this, her skin was as hard as scales and couldn't be cut. The ANBU stared at the unharmed flesh, scared, before looking up at her scowling face. He tried to run before she waved her hand at him, a gale of wind powerful enough to uproot a small oak sent him tumbling along the street. The last one came running at her with a blade of lightning wreathing his hand. It hit her and the lightning was absorbed into her body. She grabbed him and returned a portion before dropping him on the ground, coughing and struggling to breath a little.
She came to the tower and entered. She pushed aside any that got in her way as she marched to the room where the smell was strongest. "You can't go..." the secretary tried to say. Deis slammed her fist into the steel door, bending it into scrap metal and tearing it from its hinges. The smell was old, he hadn't been in today.
"Where is the Old Man that smell of tobacco that works in this room," Deis demanded of her, ignoring that the ninja had caught up again.
"Th-The Hokage hasn't come i-in today," she stuttered.
"No, he hasn't, I have," an old woman said, throwing off her robes to reveal her old battle armor.
Deis took in her scent and also recognized it from being on Naruto. "You've come in contact with my grandson, who are you?"
"Utatane Koharu," she said.
Deis seemed to relax. "I have no ill will against you," she said before walking by her. "Thank you for helping him." She pushed aside those that blocked her path but left Koharu alone.
Koharu stood there, eyes wide. She spun around and said, "Uzumaki!" Deis looked back at her a moment before looking forward. There, on the back of her blouse between her wings, was a red spiral.
Deis stepped outside and found another scent from her grandson. It came from a middle aged man with white hair. "Are you Jiriaya?"
"Ku-Kushina," the man stuttered.
"I'll take that as a yes," she said. She walked forward and Jiriaya stepped back, she may not be Kushina but her daughter was her double without wings. Before she left, they were like twins, acting and looking the same. And Jiriaya recognized her stance as one that said you are about to die. He saw it when he was caught peeping on her once. He saw it again now. True fear filled Jiriaya as she got closer.
"Ku-Kushina, I swear, I didn't mean it!"
"You left him alone! You swore and you left him alone in this hateful village!" She grabbed for him and he jumped back before turning around and running away. Deis roared and threw forward a hand. Something grabbed Jiriaya that no one could see before pulling him back to the angry woman. She held him by the collar and said, "Where is the Hokage?"
"Kushina, I understand, you're mad." Her scowl didn't let up. All he noticed was she was walking. Looking behind him, he saw she was heading to the river. "Kushina, please!" She switched him around so she was holding by his foot and shirt before dunking his head in. Fifteen second later, she pulled him out.
"Where?"
"I, I'll take you right to him," Jiriaya coughed. She dropped him on the ground and glared at him. "R-Right this way, Kushina."
"My name is Deis," she growled. "Kushina was my daughter."
Jiriaya widened his eyes, took a look at her, and the word MILF popped up in his mind. His eyes must have lingered too long on her figure because she began chanting the words for a spell. A water elemental rose from the water, grabbed him, pulled him back under, and threw him out almost a minute later. He coughed up the water in his lungs and said, "Y-Yes, ma'am." As he began walking, the elemental rose from the water and began following. It stood near ten feet tall, vaguely humanoid, and it kept watching Jiriaya for if he did something perverted. He led her to the Sarutobi estate to find the Hokage was there with every other ninja of the clan. "The old man," Jiriaya whimpered.
She grabbed him and tossed him into the elemental. "Hold him, don't drown him yet," she ordered. "Hokage! Old Man! I want to talk to you!" She marched forward, making them tense.
Especially Sarutobi. "K-Kushina!? H-How, I thought you were dead a-and buried!"
"This is her mother," Jiriaya called, his head the only part out of the elemental.
"Shit," he said looking back to the woman that now stood right in front of him. She grabbed him by his collar with both hands and lifted him in the air. "I can understand you're mad," he said.
"No, you don't. People have seen me mad, this is far beyond mad. This isn't even furious. This is 'I want to burn this village to the ground and dance on the ashes'." Despite that, ,her voice held no anger in it. "But, as I promised my husband not to, I won't."
"Thats a relief," Sarutobi said. "Are you going to set me on the ground or kill me?"
"I'm thinking about it."
"Please, don't," a man's voice said. Deis looked at him, it was a man with a beard wearing the sash of one of the Fire Twelve. "I don't know how my father wrong you, ma'am, nor who your daught Kushina was, but don't kill my father, please."
"My daughter was the world to me," Deis told him. "She made me proud in every way a daughter could. She grew strong and happy. She made others happy as well. She...She married a good husband and gave birth to my beautiful grandson. And she died, here in this village with the man she loved," she said, tears slipping free. "And...her son was treated like a monster. He was lied to, spat on, and he is only eight. And this man did the lying."
Asuma swallowed, "You're Naruto's grandmother, aren't you?"
"I am. Imagine my surprise when I heard she was dead. Or that Minato not only became Hokage when he left with my little girl, he died as well. Then, if you can possibly wrap your mind around it, imagine the anger you would feel in learning your grandson was all alone in the world, hated for something he doesn't even know, and I want an explanation about that, because his godfather left him that way to go write adult books. Now, imagine that I did that to your grandson and you were in my place. Tell me, would you spare me because my child asked? Would you spare the man that left you grandson?"
Asuma looked behind him to his sister, holding baby Konohamaru. He knew that if it was him or his father in her place against the one that did that to him, that person would most likely die. "I can't say that I would with certainty. But," he looked back to Deis and his father, "I would point something out to you. Yes, my father handled Naruto poorly but he also did many things to help him. He lied to protect Naruto, I swear to you."
"On your children? On that child right there, you would swear to me?"
"I know my father," Asume replied. "I would."
Deis considered it a moment longer before dropping him. "I reserve judgment for now. Your fate is still in my hands, Old Man. Now, someone tell me clearly and to the point, why. Why was my son hurt, why I should let these two live."
"Naruto holds the Kyuubi, a nine tailed demon fox that attacked the village, inside of him," Sarutobi told her. "Minato gave his life to seal it inside oh him." Deis closed her eyes, familiar with such sealing. "Many..." Sarutobi hesitated, not wanting to give her more reason to hate the village. Her eyes warned him about lying though. "Many saw him as either the fox demon itself or a weapon for the village to control." Rage, pure, unbridled, and unstoppable entered her eyes. "I stopped all the attempts, I swear!"
"He is telling the truth on that," Koharu said, having followed her. "Despite lying, he has always tried to do right by Naruto."
Deis looked to her then to Sarutobi. "Fine, I won't kill you." She looked to Koharu, "Is there a reason why his life isn't forfeit," she asked, motioning to Jiriaya.
Koharu looked at him, seeing him already making his prayers to Kami. "In all honesty, he never did anything for Naruto. But not all is his fault. He was charged with what was est for the village, he my have wrote those books but he was also gathering information for the village, moving around the continent."
Deis was still glaring at him. "He still could have taken Naruto. He should have taken him. The road was a better place to grow up on then here."
Koharu looked at her, "Does he even know you are here? The Naruto I know wouldn't want this on even a fly."
Deis tensed a moment. A wave of her hand followed and the elemental broke apart, "Fine. Now, someone show me where my daughter and son-in-law are buried."
—oo000oo—
Sarutobi and Jiriaya showed her to the tomb of the Hokages. "Stay out here," she commanded. She went in and found the coffin marked with Fourth on top of it. She opened, ignoring the smell of decay, to make sure it was him. Even now, she could tell it was Minato. Closing the lid, she knelt by him and left a magic circle on the ground under him. Going back out, she said, "Now my daughter." She noticed Sarutobi swallow and knew that she was going to be angry. They led her to a quiet corner of the cemetery to a stone with but a single word on it. Kushina. Not Namikaze Kushina, not Uzumaki Kushina, just Kushina. Worst, it wasn't in the ninja section, it wasn't even in the section reserved for villagers. It was in the section of outsiders, unwanted, and captured enemy ninja.
"We," Sarutobi said.
"Shut up," she growled. "Shut up and get out of my sight. I am taking my daughter home." Some mutters followed and an earth elemental rose from the ground, holding the coffin. Resting it gently on the ground, she opened it to, this time to make sure they didn't desecrate her body as well. She seemed whole and buried in full honors. "My poor, poor daughter." She placed a magic circle on her coffin as well and began casting a final spell. Both coffins vanished from their location, appearing inside a room of her home. She released the elemental and looked to the two. "Well, since you decided to stay in my sight," she growled, waking them step back, "I will tell you now. If I ever see either of you, or if you come close to any of my family, I will destroy everything you have ever loved, making you watch." She walked pass them, having one more stop to make.
—oo000oo—
"I wonder what all the worry out there is," Ayame said, looking outside.
"Not sure," her father, Teuchi replied. He was currently making a pot of breakfast ramen, a habit from Naruto always eating here.
"That smells good, sir," a woman said, walking in.
"Wel...come," Ayame said, pausing when she saw the woman's wings. "...Can I take you order?"
"Yes, a bowl of ramen, miso."
Ayame went in the back and gave her father the order. He came out with the bowl and set it on the table. "...Do I know you, miss? You look awful familiar."
"My daughter used to live in this village," the woman said before lifting the bowl and taking a deep smell of it. "Yes, this is it."
"What is, ma'am," Teuchi asked.
"My grandson recently returned home, he used to live here, and he told me about a ramen cook and his daughter that were always nice to him. And the smell of ramen is heavy around him, this ramen. I am Deis, Naruto's grandmother, and I would like to thank you for watching over Naruto." That shocked the two of them. "Please, ask something of me, anything. If you want gold, I will give it to you. Power, I have magic items of great ability. Knowledge, I know spells and books of ages pass. Ask, and you shall receive."
"You, you're Naruto's grandmother," Ayame asked.
"I am, child."
She looked her up and down, "You're beautiful."
"Thank you. Go ahead, ask what you will of me."
Teuchi just couldn't close his mouth, he was so shocked. "...Ku... What was her name? Ku..."
"Kushina," Deis supplied. "My daughter, Naruto was her son."
"I remember her, she always loved my ramen as well," Teuchi said. "Very lovely young lady."
"What do you want, kind sir?"
Teuchi shook his head, "I did nothing special ma'am, nother that deserves rewarding."
"You did," Deis corrected.
"I can think of nothing."
Deis frowned as she considered this. "Then I will pay to have you move to my home, if you don't mind that is. Naruto will be glad to see you and you would have all of Uzu no Kuni that will want your ramen."
Ayame muttered, "A whole country?"
"Yes. I adore ramen myself," Deis replied. "Will you?"
"I...I must think it over," Teuchi said.
"Think if you must," Deis encouraged. "Until you decide, that ramen calls to me." She sat down in her seat and began to eat.
"Father, what are you going to decide?"
"I don't know," Teuchi replied.
"The same offer goes to your daughter, anything she wants," Deis told them, making the little girl widen her eyes.
"I...I just want to see Naruto happy, he never was here," she told Deis.
Deis leaned back and said, "Then you may come and see him whenever you like," she said before standing and moving around the counter. Her fingertip began to shine before she pressed it to Ayame's forehead. "I give to you the ability to travel anywhere in the world. You need only speak the magic word now inside you mind and think of where you wish to go."
Ayame blinked and said, "Reumos." She glowed a moment before she was gone. A moment later, she appeared, holding a shield with the Hidden Rock symbol on it.
"...Wow," Teuchi said, his daughter still shocked.
"Use this ability wisely, child."
Teuchi looked from his daughter to Deis. "Could, could you return my wife to me, milady?"
Deis looked sad. "Had you ask anything but that, sir. I cannot, even I can't go into the god's territory. Pray that the dragon god will reincarnate your wife one day but I cannot pull her spirit from the netherworld."
Teuchi sighed and said, "I...didn't think you could, milady, but I had hoped."
"Is there anything else I may offer you?"
"I honestly don't know anything," he told her. "May daughter is growing healthy into a beautiful young woman, I have had a full life, and love the most wonderful woman there has ever been."
"Then, if you ever think of something, come to Uzu no Kuni, ask anyone for Deis Uzumaki, and you shall be pointed to me." Deis created a world map and gave it to Ayame. "This is Uzu, child, feel free to come by."
"I will," Ayame said, taking the map and holding it close.
"As for you, sir," Deis said before giving him a kiss on the cheek. "Thank you, once again." Stepping back, she vanished as well.
—oo000oo—
Naruto woke up and yawned. He began to stretch rather cattily, getting his back to pop. He even began to dig his claw into something. Looking at it, he blushed when he saw he had just clawed up a blanket. "Come here, kit," Rei said, suddenly picking Naruto up and putting him on his shoulders. "Your grandmother and I have a surprise for you."
"What is it," Naruto asked, excited.
"I went to Konoha, last night," Deis said to him as she held him by the cheeks and gave him a kiss. "I felt that we needed to give your parents a proper burial, and a chance to speak to them whenever you want it." She led him outside to the clan grave site. Two fresh graves were there, marked Namikaze Minato, Beloved Husband of Kushina, Father of Naruto and Uzumaki Kushina, beloved wife of Minato, mother of Naruto.
Naruto got down and stood before them. He was silent for a very long time. "Can...you tell me about them? Did they love me? What were they like?"
Deis and Rei hugged him. "They loved you very much," Rei told him. "When Kushina came home to tell us she was pregnant with you, I have never seen so much love. She was thinking up name after name for you, telling us how she was going spoil you rotten, and how she and Minato was decorating your room. And Minato, I have never seen the man more proud. He was going to teach you to be a ninja, an honorable man, and that he would always bring you here during the summer to meet us." Naruto's eyes watered and tears fell. He clung onto them and cried and cried until he couldn't anymore.
"Hush now, my little Naruto, its alright," Deis said, brushing his hair. "You are here now, that's all that matters.
"I m-miss my, my mommy," he cried, letting it all out.
"We miss her to," Rei told him. "We miss her so very much. So go ahead and cry Naruto, and know, she is in heaven, crying with you." It seems he was right because it began to lightly rain all over Uzu no Kuni and it didn't stop until Naruto stopped.
—oo000oo—
"Obaa-chan, where are we going," Naruto asked Deis.
"We are going to meet a very important woman, Naruto," Deis told him, holding his hand. "Her name is Deis, a very powerful woman when I was a child, that I was named after her."
"Wow," Naruto said, "she must be great."
"She is," Rei said, holding his other hand. "She is the a mage, the same one that saved us all. And she is going to help you."
Naruto looked to his stomach. "So, she will get the big, furry, meanie out of me?"
"She will," Deis said. After Naruto had finished, Deis told him about the Kyuubi and that they would find a way to remove it safely. It didn't take long before it was decided to go meet Deis.
"So where is she," Naruto asked. "Inside some stuffy tower surrounded my tomes and books, and scrolls? That were mages always are, right?"
The two adults sweat dropped, "Not exactly," Rei replied. They were walking through Uzu for a while and broke through the trees...to a beach resort. "There she is."
Naruto looked around for some old, wrinkly, wise looking woman. "Where?"
"Right there," Deis said, pointed ahead of them. Naruto looked but only saw a naga woman flirting with a teenager. Not only that, what little clothes she needed were barely there. Naruto's face reddened at that.
"Where, I don't see her."
Rei began to laugh, unable to hold it in. Deis began to shake as she did as well. The naga looked over to them and brightened. "Deis-chan! Rei-rei! I haven't seen you in so long!" She slithered over to them. "And just who is this little cutesy!?" She picked up Naruto and hugged him to her chest. "I just want to hug him, squeeze him, and eat him up!"
"DEIS! Put down my grandchild," Naruto's grandmother shouted.
Deis pouted but did as she said. "Maybe when you grow up, cutesy," she told him with a wink.
"Oh no you don't," Uzumaki Deis said, pushing her back. A wave of her hands and the other Deis was in her robes once again.
"Phooey, ruin my fun. Live a little, Deis-chan! Besides, its not like you haven't been robbing the cradle too."
Uzumaki Deis blushed sun burnt red. "At least I wait until after they leave the cradle! Naruto is only eight!"
"Fine, fine," Deis replied. "So, you here for a vacation?"
"Actually, we need you to help our grandson," Rei told her.
"Huh? What's wrong with Naruto," Deis asked, looking to the boy.
"He had a demon sealed inside him."
"Oh, that all," Deis asked. She turned around, "This way please." She led them to a beach villa and entered it. Going in back, she picked Naruto up and set him on a table. "Do you know where it was seal at?" Naruto pulled up his shirt and Deis looked at it. She said a few words and the seal appeared. "Let's see here," she said, laying Naruto down. "Humph, these children now a days shouldn't even go near a magic circle. So primitive, tying the host life to the demons."
"So you can't remove it," Uzumaki Deis asked.
"Of course I can, I'm Deis," she said, smiling at them. She flicked her hand and a summoning circle in another part of the room began to get cleared off and the runes changed. "Hmm. So, removing the demon was supposed to kill the person," Deis continued to mutter as the room shifted around her. "And if the person dies, the demon dies," she continued. In the air above her, a quill and book hovered, writing down what she said. "...The demon being removed, it doesn't die... Ah ha, this was the Shinigami's handiwork! He put it there, a mortal made the seal!" Smiling, she tickled Naruto a little, getting him to laugh, before going on. "Meant to leak the demon's power through to him. Ooh, the seal holds a bit of the drawer's soul!" A wave of her hand and the ghostly head of Minato appeared.
"Huh," the head said, looking around. "How did this happen? Kushina, when did you grow wings? Oh, I'm sorry, Deis-san, I didn't recognize you."
"Hello Minato," she said dryly. "Did you know Jiriaya and Sarutobi didn't keep their word about Naruto?"
He winced. "I'm very sorry about that. How is this happening? Did the seal break?"
"Not yet," the naga told him. "Still taking notes before we remove the beast," she said off hand.
"What!? You can't!"
"We can," she corrected, "back in you go, you can talk later." She pushed the head back in.
Naruto had been staring wide eyed at him. "...That's so weird."
"That's nothing," the mage over his stomach said. "Just last week, I was talking to the ghost of your grandmother's great grandfather, Ryu. Oh, he still looked good. Ow!"
"Speak of the dead with respect," Uzumaki Deis said, having smacked her on the back of her head.
Deis stuck her tongue out at her before turning back to Naruto. "Hmm. It seems that through the seal, you can control up to a third of the demon's power before the demon begins to control you. Now, let's see just what sort of being is inside." She tapped gently on his stomach. "Knock knock." The image of a sleeping fox with nine tails appeared over him. "Hmm, Commonly known as the Kyuubi no Yokou."
"Commonly," Naruto asked.
"Yes, you see, if you actually know a demon's true name, you hold great power over it, able to command it. Why, once I met this really unpleasant demon named Demogorgon. Real mean, and ugly too. A two headed baboon that threw giant piles of poop everywhere." That made Naruto laugh. "Now then, what is your name, you little furball," Deis said, smoothing out its whiskers. The fox tossed in its sleep and mumbled something. "Thank you." She pushed him back in. "Now, let me see, let me see, let me see. La di da dum. Hmm, Half the demon is gone, sealed into...the seal? Ooh, mystery. Now, read this here with that part there..." Naruto looked down and only saw lines. "And there we go." She moved over to an empty spot in the room and began chanting. A magic circle spread out from under her and when she finished, a toad with a scroll appeared.
"Huh," the toad said, looking around. "Where am I?"
"My home, I need that," Deis said, picking up the scroll and putting the toad on a table.
"Hey, give that back."
"Shush, you," Deis warned, "before I add you to my jar of wart of toad." She pointed to the jar next to him, making him pale.
Uzumaki Deis looked at the jar, "What's this for?"
"Been studying potions lately," Deis replied. She unrolled the scroll and saw the rest of the Kyuubi in its writings. She hummed a little tune and said, "Okay." They writing flew from the scroll into a red ball into her hand. "Back you go," she said, pressing it to Naruto's seal. It merged back with him, making the toad gulp. Naruto's whiskers deepened and his eyes turned red. "Hey in there, stop," she said, flicking his nose. A magic jolt traveled through the seal, blasting the Kyuubi away from it. Naruto relaxed again. "Better."
"She actually made it do what she wanted," the toad said amazed.
"You still here," Deis asked. "Eh, don't matter. La lala la, la di da la da," she sang happily She waved her hand, changing the first circle a little more. "A voice from the past," she muttered, still singing in her head. "Huh?" She looked closer. "Very clever, very clever but you can't beat Deis! I said stop in there!" She flicked the seal and again, the Kyuubi was blasted back. The seal returned to normal. "Di do dee do. All done, time to start!" She flicked her wrist and Naruto floated over to the circle. "If you're nervous just say so," she told Naruto.
"I'm nervous," he replied.
"Good to know, onwards!" She began chanting and Naruto closed his eyes and winced. Then he opened them, it not hurting. He looked down and he saw red chakra being pulled from the seal. It grew, and grew, until the chakra began to take shape.
—oo000oo—
Kyuubi saw the seal vanish and felt himself get pulled from the boy. His chakra regathered and created a new body for him. Finally, his mind entered the new body and he breathed in the fresh air. "AT LAST, I, THE KYUUBI NO YOKOU, HAVE RETURNED! CHAOS, TERROR, DEATH SHALL REIGN UPON THE LAND AND...WHAT THE FUCK!?" A giant hand reached down and picked him up by the scruff of the neck.
"Ah, isn't it cute," Deis said, holding the cat sized Kyuubi.
"CUTE!? I'll devour your soul!"
"You barely have fangs," she said, letting him bite her finger.
The Kyuubi nibbled at her fingers a moment longer. "Grrr! I'll claw your damn eyes out!" He started waving his claws around, trying to reach her face when his paws barely went pass her wrist.
"Bad kitty," Deis said, giggling.
"KITTY! I'm killing you on priniple now!" He stopped though when a bell on a string was dangled close to his face. He couldn't help it. "Must...bat...bell," he said, his voice turning squeaky. He pat it back and forth a few times before he shook his head. "WHAT DID YOU...AAGH! MY VOICE! WHERE'S MY EVIL SOUNDING VOICE!?"
"That sounded so annoying," Deis said, taking away the string and bell.
"What did you do," Kyuubi demanded.
"Whatever I wanted, Myobou," she said, making his eyes widen. He looked around and saw the boy staring at him, giggling as well. His three whiskers vanished and in their place were two lines going from his jaw to his cheek bone.
"When I get free..." He trailed off when Naruto started scratching his ears. "Ooh...do that, do that," he moaned. He shook his head and said, "What happened to me?"
"Well, I couldn't just let you go rampaging around, now could I," Deis asked before setting him down. "Now, are you going to behave? If you do, I'll let you reign terror and death upon the mice the sneak into my home."
"RAGH!" He jumped on her tail, trying to bite and claw it.
Deis lifted him up to her face. "Please, compared to Deathevn, you're as maniacal as a box of kittens. Now stop that and be good." She reached down and scratched his ears. "I'll keep doing this if you do," she said as he began to purr.
"I really don't have a choice, do I?"
"Of course you do," Deis said. "I have a cat cage right over there."
"Fine, I'll be good."
"That's good. By the way, I forbid you from going beyond my yard and destroying my things." Kyuubi began to growl at her while she turned back to everyone else. "Anyone thirsty? I can make slushies." She led them to the kitchen, had one of her air elemental servants make them drinks, and went out on the porch.
Inside, Kyuubi cackled with laughter. "Feel my evil power, mouse...that is just so sad."
The Toad hopped out to Naruto and the others. "Okay, I'm confused, how did that happen?"
Deis looked back at him. "You're still here? Go home." She flicked her finger and the toad vanished in a cloud of smoke.
"But...what about my father inside my stomach," Naruto sipping his drink.
"He'll keep," Deis said. "We'll figure that out later, once we know what can be done with him."
"Can he..."
Deis was already shaking her head. "No. Life flows one way. More over, to get the Shinigami to do what he did cost him his soul. It is his possession. Right now, if we brake that seal, his soul would return to the rest inside the stomach of the death god. But don't worry, we'll figure something out."
"I hope so," Naruto said. Wondering something, he scratched his arm with one of his claws. Chakra filled the wound and it began to close. But instead of being fast and red, it was slower and green. His own chakra was filling the spot of the Kyuubi's missing chakra. Probably a good thing. He leaned back and closed his eyes. He felt different...hell, the whole world had been turned upside down on its head, why not him too?
"Naruto," his grandfather said, shaking him, not getting him to wake.
"He's fine," the mage told him. "He'll be out of energy for a bit while his body adjust to not having the Kyuubi. Just let him rest." Naruto's grandmother picked him up and wrapped her arms and wings around him. He nuzzled into her neck and his tail wrapped around her. "The little guy really is just too cute." She almost squealed when Naruto began to purr as well.

Author's Notes: Okay, I've had a few questions about this so I will address them now. As you can see with Dragon Clan Deis, they do sometimes interbreed. This also happened in the game, Nina and Ryu in BoF1, Tiga and Clarence BoF2, Ryu and Katt and/or Nina BoF2, they never said which in the game, though Katt kiss him at the end if you have her in your party. So, how do the clans keep their genes strong? The spell Naga Deis placed on them makes it so that the clan they are marrying into, for the time they are married into it, overwrite their own. Like a normal human marrying a woren, shell, etc, etc. Which means Naruto is only of the Uzumaki clan, not of the Ryu clan like his grandmother.
This also allows them to add more to the genepool without weakening their bloodline, a serious flaw I see with clans that marry within the clan to keep such things strong.
I'll nickname Deis her english name, Bleu, later so there won't be any confusions about her and Naruto's grandmother. And that scene where Deis picked up the Kyuubi and he tried to claw her eyes out, that was inspired by a picture I found on the web where Naruto is wearing this sweatdrop look, holding the Kyuubi at arms length, the size of a cat, trying to claw his eyes out.
