The Change Of Kyuubi
Chapter 3: Testing the mind and chakra
A/N: I'm sorry for taking this long to update! I am, as my name says, a bookworm, so I have to keep worthy of such a name. I am currently with the whole Shakespeare's collection and I have, no, NEED to read them! Also, I am a student. Besides, I am incredibly lazy…
But I cannot lie… I am not good with this update regularly thing…
Sorry, anyway…
On with the chapter…
As they reached the Hokage´s Tower, the first thing Sayomi did was releasing Naruto, making him fall to the ground. All the ninjas who would be performing the tests on them were aligned in front of the Hokage's desk. All of them with blank expressions, usual for a ninja, however weird-looking in all those faces.
"Naruto! Wake up!" And Sayomi kicked the boy on the belly. Said boy jumping up and yelling at the girl, in anger for the rough way of waking him up. Immediately, all of the once stern-looking witnesses turned into surprised. That woman seemed to be very violent… They all wondered how Naruto could have possibly survived all that. His training must have been very hard…
"Don't blame me for that! It was you and that stupid fo..!" Naruto gave one last yell before quieting down, leaving all of the ninjas wondering if what he would say next would be 'fox'. A very delicate word for them. And with a very strong and big meaning.
"Any way, we are ready for the tests now. He isn't going to run away again." Sayomi interceded. Naruto had almost spilled their secret. If they had not yet realized, that is.
"Yes… Of course. Firstly, we shall test your mind… Ibiki…" And the older-looking man there (also scarier one) took a few steps forward and stood in front of Sayomi. He asked the Hokage if he could begin with her and she answered with an yes. 'Naruto, why do I have a feeling I'm in trouble?' Sayomi sent the mental message for her brother. The answer wasn't quite what she wanted to hear: he is responsible for the interrogation section and likes to torture people. She gulped.
"May I begin?"
"Sure…" And the old man put his hand on her head. For him, it all went dark.
'Hey!' A voice greeted him. Surprisingly, when Ibiki opened his eyes, he saw Naruto in there. Standing next to the hostess of the mind. Both of them acting as if that was normal. 'Impressive… They have somehow managed to connect their minds…' Ibiki thought.
'You know we can hear you, right? And, yes, our minds are linked. We can explain it to everyone else when you get out.' Naruto said, surprising him.
'Of course…' He could barely contain his excitement. He wanted to know how. It could be a great weapon for Konoha. 'But I was ordered to also look into your memories.'
'Firstly, this could not be used for Konoha's war purposes… As it requires an special thing…' Naruto continued, surprising the special jonnin even more.
'Secondly, you cannot check my memories. This is private and also involves a certain SSS ranked secret, not even know by any villager alive. I have to keep it this way. And I must ask you to leave.' Sayomi said. The next thing Ibiki saw was the young girl's face, not in her mind but back in reality. She had successfully expulsed him… Impressive indeed.
"Already?" The Senju doubted he had actually seen everything he ordered him to.
"Unfortunately…" And he moved towards Naruto, not daring say another word. He hesitated at first, remembering the first time he had visited the young blonde's mind and the not so warm welcome from his tenant. But he eventually put his hand on his head and closed his eyes.
Again, there stood both teens. However, another being was also there: The Great Nine Tailed Fox, The Kyuubi. It's mere appearance was enough to strike fear into his heart. And it's loud voice made him tremble and loose concentration, making him go back again. "As expected, The Kyuubi won't let me into his mind… But he is there, that is a good thing. I could see the seal, although not the same as the one last time…" He said.
"What do you mean by not the same!?" The Senju yelled, not believing such a thing. Minato's seal was made to last a lifetime… Well, depending on Naruto… But it was not acceptable for it to have already broken. "And who made the new seal!?" She continued yelling.
Knowing the Hokage had no other questions for now, Sayomi answered. "It wore off and Naruto sealed him again."
"NARUTO DID WHAT!? WHEN DID YOU LEARN SEALING, NARUTO!?" She didn't seem that happy…
"I learnt it in those years I've been gone. It is no big deal, actually… Considering my mother's clan and my father's skill… I kind of inherited it, I guess…" Naruto said, while scratching the back of his head and closing his eyes.
"Oh, don't get so confident!" Sayomi punched him in the head. "Nee-san! Stop it!" He wined. "Really! You have to learn how to control your strength!"
"Sorry, otouto…" And she also scratched the back of her head, just like he has done. Everyone sweat-dropped at that. I looked almost agreeable, the whole siblings thing. Almost…
"Well, we may now follow into the chakra examination. Hinata, please…" The Hyuuga stepped forward. She was definitely shy. Naruto noticed that had not changed, Sayomi understood now why her brother had missed the fact the white-eyed girl liked him. He was, even after all those years of training with her and her brother, dumb as a rock.
The Hyuuga activated her eyes: "Byakugan!" And looked over at the two of them. What she saw was, at the least, surprising. Naruto had chakra all over. It formed a coat of blue light around him. At least 5 centimetres large. Sayomi was less surprising, but still out of the normal, the same coat was present, but barely noticeable.
Besides all that, The Kyuubi's chakra was there, as it had always been. "Nothing out of the ordinary with the chakra flow, Tsunade-hime. However, the quantity of it is incredible. There seems to be some kind of coat of chakra around them... E-es-spe-pe-cia-a-ally o-o-on Na-nar-ru-ru-to-ku-kun..." She almost managed to say the whole thing without stuttering. But when speaking about Naruto, there was no way she wouldn't sttuter.
"You see... We have to much chakra." Naruto began. "If we let it just evaporate, it may be tiring. Rhis way we have more stamina." And he finished.
"Specially Naruto. I don't have that much human chakra."
"Huh... We will have to shedule a meeting with the council... So we can understand things better..." Tsunade said. They knew too many unknown techniques for Konoha... The council had to know, and would want to know about them.
"Oh, no! Baa-chan! Can't you do something about it!?" Naruto wined. His experience with the council wasn't exactly... good. If they had a say on that matter, he would already be dead...
"I am sorry, Naruto... This does involve them..." She answered, apologetic. There was nothing she could do. But if they dared sentence him to death or simply not accepting him back, heads would roll... "Let's just continue this and not think about it for now. Sasuke!"
Naruto seemed worried, Sayomi smiled. Everyone was confused.
"I'm first!" Naruto yelled, not a trace of worry on his face anymore. "Just don't kill me this time, okay? Try to avoid this area." And he put his hand on his chest, just above the heart.
"Sure, Naruto..." Sasuke answered, also activating his eyes. "I will try my best."
"Why do I feel this is not safe..?" Naruto wondered out loud, still playing around with the incident.
"Don't worry, ototuto... I bet he wouldn't be able to even touch a hair on your big head..." Sayomi then interceded. It was obvious she did not like the Uchiha. Everyone supposed it was because of the incident...
Naruto did not reply to what she said, what really scared all the others. Could he really be that powerful now? They would know soon enough.
Sasuke was visibly annoyed, but choose not to do anything. Instead, he concentrated on his task. He looked at Naruto deep in the eyes and...
