The Youki Chronicles

by Wyverntooth

(Edgefic I'll finish differently later) Naruto chose a new life, the life of a fox. But what if the shinobi life catches up to him? Will he walk the streets of ninja or tread the path of a kitsune? Why not try both? He will put things in a new look on life. Rated T for safety. Might seem a bit dark at times, but Naruto's badass, so it's balanced. NaruInoTema.

28. Training 101, OH DEAR GOD!

Whaz up ladies, gents and other! I'm back with the trainin' style Naruto spoke of, and-HAHAHAHAHAHA!-those kids're gonna die. I got a review complainin' 'bout how I made Naruto OP in the first few chapters, an' I'm sorry to y'all for havin' done that, but it makes sense: When you're a teenager, your body undergoes a great deal of changes an' these changes make the body move and operate at levels that's faster than adults while hard to burnout like a child. Naruto's undergoin' puberty while he's a Gaiden in this story, so he's at a stage in life where his body makes him physically stronger and faster than the average adult human bein', addin' onto his shinobi trainin' and jinchuuriki status...I'd say that his fight with Mei wasn't that far off from what'd really happen if this story were canon.

It was this same review that reminded me that I wanna bring Minato into the light earlier than canon, an' it gave me a way how. No shit 'bout what I'm gonna do in this chapter, kapiche?If ye're interested, keep readin', if not...Why the Hell're even here if ye don't wanna read? I don't own Naruto Shippuden, an' I'm fine with that. (The followin' chapter has been rated M for Massive stupidity)

"Hehehe," He chuckled menacingly at his temporary students, "you three aren't gonna last a day...Ah well, might as well beat-I mean-teach you while I've the chance!" The slip up was hardly accidental and they knew this all too well, actually having second thoughts about this whole endeavor, "Today's focus: Survival. Survive one day with me on the loose, and I'll teach you all I can without stepping on anybody's toes."

He held up a single finger to make sure the children understood, "One day, that's all you're getting. That's the only window you've got, and if you were smart, you'd have taken off running by now..." Shikamaru, Ino, Choji and Temari glanced betweeen each other and disappeared, leaving Naruto chuckling pleasantly, I've really outdone myself with these kids, now if I could only figure out a way to get Isaribi to forget all that formal bullshit...Then we'd be golden! But, that's not the point, the point is to traumatize- I mean-train those delightful, young children...

Scenting the air, he smirked and gave chase in all four directions they ran. It's like they're not even trying! "You're superior to them, in both skill and power, Kit. Even I'm not as arrogant as you are being." Naruto then noticed that the air around him was glistening brightly, ...I pity the fool who's teacher was so incompetent that Genjutsu wasn't covered...

A sneeze was heard to the jinchuuriki's left, alerting him to the accurate location of his temporary students, "Hello, children. Kitsune no..." Naruto inhaled, focusing his self-created youki into his mouth before the jutsu's name was finished, "KOE!" The dirt rose in the air as a wave moving from Naruto outward, shaking trees with the churning of the soil and hitting his students in one go, "Come on! This is too easy! I knew this'd be easy, but seriously, this easy is ridiculous!"

"Not everyone is A-ranked in the Bingo Book with a run on sight warning, Naruto-sensei-kun." And four faces hit the ground. Calling someone something formally then familiarly wasn't something that happened often for them. Seeing an opportunity to pit his students against each other, he took it, "Well, since Ino-chan decided to play the wild card...I think I'll be nice and make this quick!" Charging a Bijuu Dangan in his mouth, he caught the dirty looks Ino was getting, making him smile ferally.

He swallowed the ball of chakra, causing his cheeks to puff outward slightly, before he shot a blast at each of his students. "You're going to have to do better than that, Naruto-sensei!" It was weird for everyone calling someone of about their age 'sensei', but it sounded especially weird when Shikamaru said it in such an energetic tone from right behind Naruto.

"Yeah, we're not as weak as we used to be!" Choji's words made Naruto smirk predatorily, "Oh yeah, we'll See about that...Time for an old classic: Orioke no Jutsu San-Ten-A!" Naruto transformed into a busty, female version of himself wearing a skimpy she-devil outfit and posing sensually. Just for dramatic effect, 'she' moaned sensuously, getting his two male students to have nosebleeds. Now pissed off with their sensei for being a pervert, the girls charged at 'her' who smiled cutely at them, "You four are sooo cuuuutttteeeee!"

And that made the two lose balance and momentum, long enough for Naruto to come up with a new jutsu, "Orioke Gyaku no Jutsu!" 'Naruko' vanished in a puff of smoke, revealing a naked, blue-haired Naruto before them with a 'third leg' ready for usage. The girls tripped on each other and fell into a pile, noses bleeding fountains all the while. Naruto chuckled as the man before transforming back to normal and glaring at his unconscious students, "Pathetic! Just pitiful! I expected there to be at least a little resistance, but clearly my faith was misplaced!"

With that he stormed out of the woods, leaving his students to try and wake up, calling back, "When you figure out how to shape up, come and talk to me!"

Back at camp, with the other sensei(s?)

(It sounds right either way if ye use it properly, so...)

Naruto was passing his hands through his spiky hair, grumbling irritably and glaring at nothing. "That bad, eh?" Looking up, there stood Anko eating dango happily, "No, it was fun tormenting them, but there was aboslutely no resistance whatsoever! I expected there to be at least a little, but looks like I overestimated my classmates..."

He sat down on a stump, still visibly pissed off, when he remembered that he had to reverse summon someone, "Fucking Hell...Might as well get the pale, motherfucker here while I've the chance and any feeling besides apathy about it!" Going through handseals, he slammed his hand on the ground with a specific formula only he could read, "Kuchiyose no Jutsu, motherfucker!"

A cloud of smoke rose from the ground and there stood the pale boy, "I'm supposed to be trained by Kakashi-sensei, yes?" Getting nods from the two, he asked, "Where is he at the moment?" Before Naruto or Anko could answer, Inu came from behind them and placed his hands on their shoulders while saying, "A three-way I can get behind, interesting."

"AH/AH! DON'T BE DOWNWIND, DUMBASS!" Kakashi was now laughing, heartily! This alerted Naruto and Anko immensely, making Naruto grab his former sensei's shoulders with chakra claw-covered hands and charging a Bijuu Dangan in his sharp toothed mouth. "Naruto...What are you doing?!" "I ous ic jull, A'm figging ew face modersussa!" Naruto shot the blast at the man's head, blasting it clean off, revealing the imposter to be an Otogakure shinobi.

"Caught you fucker, Datteboyo! You don't know you're dead until it's too late when you fight the Kitsunin, scum! rrrrrRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAWWWWHHHHHHH!" Naruto's triumphant roar sent a shockwave of chakra(He's not using any youki, the roar's Kyuubi's though, so there's power 'hind it) and getting 'Sai' and Anko to cover their ears in pain before it ended. "I'M THE GREATEST MAN, IN THE WORLD!"

"THEN SHUT THE FUCKING HELL UP! WE NEED TO FIND KASHI-KUN SO HE CAN whip-I mean...-beat-uh, I mean...DAMN IT, GAKI! Your roaring screwed me up!" Naruto was rolling on the ground in laughter until he could breath again, "Sorry, Anko-chan, but I took down a spy so I think that calls for a roar. Anyway, Inu should be near the rocky clearing in the forest, just past the clearing with blood on the grass. It's not easy to miss, but pay attention to your surroundings so you don't get lost."

"Hai, Uzumaki-san." And the pale boy was off into the forest in search for a rocky clearing that, if the reports were to be trusted, would be half destroyed. Naruto groaned when the boy was out of earshot, "I hate people referring to me formally. It makes me sound old and makes me out to be a pompous noble. But what really bugs me, is that the four I got were down within five minutes. Makes me wonder if Inu was just pulling my leg about how far they pushed themselves...Also makes me worry if I should have spoken back at the gates..."

Anko leaned down to look him in the eye as she gave his shoulder a comforting and supportive squeeze, "You did a good thing back there, don't beat yourself up about what hasn't happened. Besides, it really shows how much you've outgrown your mask. It's hard to believe that you're older than them when you pretended to be the same age as them for seventeen years! Anyway, what's the real reason you're so uncertain?" Her question made her foster-brat look at her questioningly, "I know you too well to be fooled by your 'I shouldn't have done this or that' act. So, what's the problem, Gaki?"

She sat on the stump next to him, practically sitting on him, and gave him a sideways hug of reassurance that only family can give. The blonde looked to her with eyes full of uncertainty, "I trained Isaribi to the point that I shouldn't be allowed to be her sensei, sorta like how you trained me whenever you could or knew how to. But these kids don't have the experience, endurance, or lifeforce to withstand my training style. I'm scared, Anko-chan..." When he said that she froze up and her face took on a look of shocked fear, "Why?"

"What if I kill them by being their sensei? What if I can't train them well enough to survive the Exams?! What i-" "Shut up!" Her stern voice and determined expression made him do as told, "You're a Jonin sensei and more importantly, a father to a sweet girl of sixnteen-going-on-seventeen. So don't doubt yourself for a damn second, Naruto!" She'd called him by name, a bad sign no matter the circumstance.

"You're a great sensei," She said kindly, "if Isaribi being able to beat the kids is anything to go by. And those kids have only gotten this far and survived this long because they wanted to catch up to you, but right now I'm starting to think they know that's impossible." Her voice seemed solemn as she wrapped an arm around his shoulders and her head to his affectionately with tears attempting to escape the confines of her eyes that her boy was doubting himself. "So don't doubt you dare doubt yourself, or everything they've done to try and touch equal ground with you was for nothing! They are doing this to prove they're from a village that isn't going to sit back while wars are on the horizon, so don't doubt yourself!"

"But they're going to die if I train them, they're going to die if I don't, and they're going to die if they don't shape up! I can't change them, they're trained in ways that counteract everything I'd teach them..." He stood up and paced, self-loathing evident in his watery eyes that his friend and acquaintances were doomed because he couldn't do anything, "I can't do anything for them without breaking them down to nothing and removing anything they've been taught before, and doing that will make them die from contradicting instincts in battle. There's nothing I can do for them, just like there's nothing anyone can do for me...I'm already insane, my chances of fighting him and surviving are practically zero, and I can't save eleven Chunin. What good am I to them if I can't train them when they came to be trained by me?!"

Having had enough of his self-pity filled bitching, Anko stood up and punched him square in the face, making her wince and send him scooting back a few feet from being caught off guard. "Ow..." "SHUT UP, GAKI! THEY'RE NOT DOOMED AS LONG AS YOU DON'T LET THEM BE AND I'M SURE AS HELL NOT LETTING YOU LET THEM BE DOOMED BECAUSE YOU'RE UNCERTAIN! Damn...that hurt."

Unknown to the two of them, their respective teams were listening in on them as the other two teams and their respective sensei came up behind them, "It's that bad, eh?" Kakashi's question made the Chunin look to him questioningly, but Gai simply said, "Hai, it is. Naruto-kun's fearing for everyone's safety, a Youthful gesture indeed, but he is doubting himself because of it. I heard him say that he trained his student so Youthfully that he should not be legally allowed to be her sensei, and I understand now why he's afraid."

Shikamaru, even though his IQ was incredibly high for someone his age, couldn't figure out what was bringing out this uncertainty now. So he asked bluntly, "If that's true, then why is it that his student's so upbeat around him? And why is this a problem now instead of at the gate?" Kakashi answered this time, "His power is in a league all its own, he's just yet to awaken it all yet, but his training style is dangerous. I've seen Jiraiya-sama's journals he recorded their trip during their trip in, and I'm afraid that his fear is not unfounded..."

"Why does he train so dangerously if he has a daughterly student, Kakashi-sensei?" It was Neji who answered Sakura's question, "It might not make sense right away, Sakura-san, but think back to his academy days. A child three years older than your age group and two above Tenten's, Lee's, and my own; all alone and insulted for being unable to learn properly in an academy made to teach its students to understand shinobi life. When Lee, Tenten and myself were in Iruka-sensei's class, Naruto was made fun of more than Lee. I, myself, was one of those who insulted him frequently and I regret it to this day."

Lee picked up after his rival, "His Flames of Youth burned bright, but they were so bright that they blinded the academy to what he could do when he put his mind to it. Like me, he has a hindrance that he has turned into a strength to surpass his opponents, but the difference is he matured earlier than us and thus has taken great responsibility over the safety of his precious ones. As has been seen, he and Ino-san are distant friends, but he doesn't have as deep a connection to all of us but cares about our safety nonetheless."

"He's," Tenten said assuredly, "a kitsune at heart and, with the way he acts, they're loyal to those they hold close to their hearts. He always was a guardian figure, even in the academy. He would tell bullies to, and I shit you not, go fuck themselves and their mothers. When he said that to them they would attack him, and he'd take it until he decided enough was enough and he'd start a fullout brawl. If he were to train say, me: He'd have to break down my Bukijutsu usage into something else that would suit my needs. But the problem is that in combat, my natural instincts and the instincts Naruto could instill in me would counteract each other. That would leave me open to attack and ultimately get me killed."

As a unified voice, the three of them stood in a line with stern expressions and readied stances, they said, "He cannot teach us anything until he can overcome this problem. And the only way to help him, we need to use the one thing he understands better than anything else..." They closed their eyes, steeling their resolve, before opening their eyes and running towards the jinchuuriki, "Combat!" Naruto turned to them slowly, eyes hidden behind his bangs, when he looked up with his slitted, red eyes.

(Cue:Breaking Benjamin-I Will Not Bow) The three of them glared at him sternly as they jumped at him once they got close, when he transformed into his three-tailed fox form and knocked all three of them back. Transforming back, he said, "You really think I wouldn't be hard to take on. Why am I not surprised?!"

Shit! Charging a Bijuu Dangan in his mouth, he shot the three of them one after the other. And as if just to spite everyone else, he charged it larger and aimed for the rest of them. Kakashi's eye went wide and white with fear, while Gai's were just wide with shock at Naruto's boldness. "Fid cummic!" His mouth may have been full, but it was clear what he said, "Oh shit!" Kakashi and Gai grabbed the Chunin and threw them out of the blast radius, when they were hit.

The crater wasn't that deep, but it left no remains. And the rest of the Rookies charged, hatred in their eyes as Naruto smirked unnoticeably, until he gave them a crazed smile that made them all think of a rape face. His red, slitted eyes were unnerving enough, but that smile..."...!" Their crazy temporary sensei charged at them, his feral and predatory smirk back at full force. "Let's see how strong these ningen are, SHALL WE KIT?!" That voice...!

"YOU BETCHA, PAL!" Naruto split into eleven foxes, each one glowing orangish-red before growing a tail and in size, "This should make things so much more interesting!" The jinchuuriki charged at the Root operative they had with them and transformed into his Yugo Fomu: Suteji Ni, his claw-like nails sharpened and his teeth were elongated to points. He snarled at Sai with vigorous amusement at his haunted expression, "This is gonna be fun, Datteboyo!" His head impacted Sai's midsection, knocking the wind out of him and allowing him to see-"What?!"

"That's right, MOFO, this is my dream. My plans...MY NIGHTMARE/NIGHTMARE!" The two voices that had been finishing or filling in for each other spoke as one, letting everyone catch a glimpse of Naruto's 'other side' and it instilled fear within everyone to see the large fox that acted as Naruto's council. You're actually letting them notice you, Kyuubi? Wow...I thought you had more pride than that!

The daiyoukai kitsune growled out a deep rumbling sound, "I DO HAVE MORE PRIDE THAN THAT, KIT! I'M DOING US BOTH A FAVOR FOR WHEN THE WAR STARTS! WE BOTH KNOW THAT WHEN THE WAR STARTS, THEN THE SECRET THAT I'M ALIVE WILL BE TAKEN HARSHLY BY YOUR SO CALLED FRIENDS, I'M PREPARING THEM FOR WHAT THEY WILL SEE AND MAKING SURE YOU KNOW IT!" Naruto inwardly nodded with a solemn face, I've known that since the day I figured out that you were imprisoned within me. Don't remind me of something I already know, or we'll see how large that cage is! When the war comes, they'll find out, and I'll have lost friends; that's the end of it and I'll be on my way, just like the last time people started to catch on. Nothing more, nothing less...

A grunt of affirmation was Naruto's reward, making the fox-boy return to reality and to the fight, or what the Chunin thought was a fight. The Kyuubi jinchuuriki was sitting in the Lotus Position at the moment, a calm demeanor about him, while his temporary students went through the training exercise he and Shikamaru came up with. Gai, Kakashi and Anko were keeping watch in case anything went wrong with the simulation while their students prepared themselves for their turn inside of Naruto's mentality.

Back within Naruto's Kiragenjutsu, things were looking bad for Choji, Temari, Ino and Shikamaru. All of the other Chunin had died from the foxes they were 'assigned' and the original Naruto had mangled Sai into a pile of limbs and bloody flesh. The terror they felt was nowhere near as strong as the hate they felt for him right then. He'd hurt their friends, butchered their senseis, and had turned into a monster.

"WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU NARUTO?! WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL US?!" The betrayed hurt in their united voice was heard clearly, making Naruto stare at them with empty eyes, "You're going to die anyway, might as well put you out of your misery sooner versus later. I'm a monster, through and through, just like the villagers said to me. This is what it means to be a jinchuuriki: Protector of a village that wants it dead, war finisher, and UNLOVED PARIAH! WHAT MAKES YOU THINK THAT I WOULDN'T DRAW BLOOD THIS ENTIRE TIME?!"

He ran at all four of them with Kage Bunshin with the weapons he'd collected or made, ready to end this with one blow. As he got closer, they all saw the futility in fighting him anymore, and gave in. Only one of them shed tears and she felt so much regret. I could've prevented this nightmare, and I'll...Never be able to make up for it! Naruto-kun would've never turned out like this if I had just...If I had just... Naruto was upon her at that moment, a bloodthirsty smirk on his face and his clawed gauntlet readied to pierce her heart.

"DIE!" His gauntlet went straight through her chest, the bloodlusting smirk never leaving his face, when Ino choked out as tears fell from her face, "I-I'm sorry...I f-forgive you..." His eyes opened and the four of them were shut out of the trance he'd made, knocking them out for the time being, breathing heavily and shakily. "WHat's wrong Gaki, what happened in there?!" He looked to Anko like a wounded child, tears falling from his eyes.

(Uncue music) "S-She," He stuttered out as tears tried to escape his eyes, "forgave me...she forgave me, for killing her...That wasn't the plan! They were supposed to hate you, not forgive you! What's wrong with that wench?!" One of Naruto's eyes turned red and slitted, alerting everyone that his 'other side' was letting itself be heard. "You weren't supposed to be forgiven, Kit, they were supposed to Hate You and SHE FORGAVE YOU! WHY?!" (Kyuubi's a creature of near uncontrollable hatred and bloodlust, so feelin's of remorse, pity and/or forgiveness are beyond him)

"Because, she's not a total whore who loves murdering people in cold blood!" There was awkward silence, he was talking to 'himself' for Christ's sake! "When you say that, you include yourself and the other jinchuuriki into that, right?" Naruto had a haunted expression as he acted like a kitten being scared by a lizard for the first time(Anyone ever saw that Vine, it's funnier than fuck), "GOD DAMN IT, MOTHERFUCKING, HORNY TWATWAFFLE-EATING WHORESHIT!" (If anythin' he just said sounds in anyway offensive to someone, sorry) He then went from there, making everyone wake up if they were asleep and make them go pale with all the profanities he was using.

"-AND GETTING GANGBANGED BY A GOD DAMNED, PUSSY-WHIPPING, MOTHERFUCKING, WHORE-SLAPPING, SON OF A SUNUVABITCH'S SONOVABITCH BASTARDS!" Everyone had tears in their eyes, Anko had just started getting teary eyed, but for a different reason. "Oh, Gaki's growing up! Wh-haha-hy?!" Her cry to the heavens made everyone-but-Naruto's face hit the ground while said bewhiskered blonde was being smothered by Anko's breasts from her nearly-barehug.(Anyone get that joke?)

"MMPH! MM-AAH-HELP ME!" His strangled cry for help made Anko squeeze him closer to her bosom, trying to keep the little brat she met years ago instead of the bad-assed bastard she had before her, "WHY?! STOP GROWING UP, GAKI, STAY MY LITTLE BRAT! DON'T BE MY BASTARD, BE MY BRAT..." She had anime tears in her eyes as she began to crush Naruto's neck in maternal heartbreak. It took the combined efforts of the entire party to remove Anko's bosom from Naruto's face, allowing him the chance to take deep, grateful breathes of life while his 'inner demon' busted a gut or nine.

"Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh, thank you merciful gods, I can breath...Okay, kids, what did you think of the simulation?" That's when it sank in for Temari, Shikamaru, Choji and Ino. Faces pale, they looked to him fearfully, "Simulation?! That shit was serIOUSLY FUCKED UP, YOU KILLED EVERYBody...Why's everybody alive and why are you all looking at us like we're crazy?"

Temari's question made Naruto chuckle evilly, getting his four students to stare at him in fear of dying, "You kids today, hehehehehe...," His voice returned to normal as he smiled kindly, "This training exercise was Shikamaru's idea," They looked to him like he was mad, when he gave them an 'I don't remember' face. "I can't train you in the proper sense, since my way of training will put you at or past death, so Shikamaru came up with a way to bypass that problem by creating a simulated training regiment to trick your psyches into thinking you experienced all of that. The plan was to give you an idea of what I do at first until your minds could handle what it, and once that happened I could train you in ways that work for each of you. In fact, the others agreed to try it themselves!"

The chipper tone in his voice was all too real, but his temporary students had heard it beforehand. "You went in, not knowing it was simulated, and believing that I was going to go easy on you-HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! LIKE THAT WOULD EVER HAPPEN!-Aaaahhh...It was going like it should've, but then..." Naruto looked to Ino guiltily, "I waned. I...I lost focus, my intention was to make you hate me enough to give it more than your all, and it was going so smoothly. But then, Ino-chan forgave me. We were going along the path we had ready, but Ino-chan forgave me and felt remorse for not being there for me when we were kids. Kiragenjustu is an art, not an exact science like Genjutsu, so it relies heavily on emotion and negative emotions give it more...More, how do I put this in a language you kids are gonna understand?! UNGH!"

Taking a step back, he held the sides and back of his head to calm himself down, before stepping back forward. "Okay...I have to feel angry at you guys, have to hate you, have to despise you to make these simulations work and Ino-chan," Said platinum blonde looked to him guiltily as he grabbed her shoulders in an adult manner, like a parent does when telling their child to not do something, "You can't forgive me, you have to hate me, for this to work. Okay?" She nodded, biting her lip to keep herself silent, as he nodded assuredly.

"Awight," His instant change from serious to cheery and goofy caught the Chunin off and made them hit the ground face-flat. "I'm gonna give my kids a break from that traumatic experience..." Naruto's tone dropped to a sinister level, "Since Shikamaru's idea of altogether training isn't gonna work, I've got a much better plan!" He looked to Gai's team, a very creepy and evil smirk on his face.

"I'm going to send each, and everyone, of you into your own, personal Hell. LET'S GET THIS SHIT STARTED, SHALL WE, KIT! LET'S DO THIS SHIT, PAL!" Chakra claws left his arms, grabbing Gai's former students by their heads and sending them into their personal rings of Hell. Leaving everyone else to talk amongst themselves, "So, what did Gaki do to you four? With the look on your faces I'd say that it was-"

"Horrible." "Traumatic." "Terrifying." "..." The other three looked to Ino, seeing her mixed expression, confusedly. "What's wrong with you, Ino-chan?!" Anko's teasing didn't even get a rise from the staring Yamanaka heiress as she kept her eyes locked on her first secret friend. Even though they'd never been close and thy'd followed two different paths, she'd always felt sorry for every mean thing she said to him, and now she saw what had become of the innocent, fun-loving prankster she'd called friend as a youngster.

Tears entered the corners of her eyes as she knelt down next to Naruto staring at him with an unwavering gaze that made everyone else stare at her for, "I made this." What no one knew or noticed, was that a giant fox was listening in on them from within Naruto with a cruel smile as its malicious energy began to seep out of his host and search for Ino. "I could have prevented this nightmare, but I had to...To be popular, to be man, to be a total bitch!"

She looked to the ground with small tears fighting to fall but wouldn't, "What are you talking about, Ino? Do you mean Naruto-baka's attitude and all that other shit? Because if that's the case, then you're wasting your bre-" Sakura was then punched in the stomach and hit in the head with a fan, "SHUT UP/UP! HE'S SUFFERED ENOUGH WITHOUT YOUR INSULTS!"

The bubblegum haired student of Tsunade grabbed Ino's fist and Temari's fan with a grunt before swinging them into nearby trees, "I don't get what you're getting all worked up about, Ino-Pig. Naruto-baka's always been just that, a baka. He's-" "BEEN ALONE HIS WHOLE LIFE!" Ino's shout made everyone conscious look to her in surprise at her aggression, when the Jonin noticed the red tint to her eyes, Kyuubi's negative emotions must be permeating the air, leaving psychics susceptible to its control. She's not in complete control of herself, she's feeling overemotional and can't do anything else but attack.

Unknown to the others Naruto knew what was going on outside of the Kiragenjutsu, meaning he heard Ino's sorrow, could smell her sorrow for crying out loud. "She's so loyal, but that won't last long. Enjoy it while it lasts, Kit, it won't be much longer before the war starts..." Naruto inwardly nodded. "I know he's an orphan, but why are you pitying him? He's strong but he even admitted he's not that smart." Sakura's snide remark was met with Ino let a soft fox growl leave her throat, making her blink surprisedly before shrugging it off as her imagination, "I'm not pitying him, I'm standing up for him while he's not able to defend himself! When we were still gaiden, I invited him over to the shop while my parents were away and the moment he stepped into the shop,
She threw her hand behind her to show the Naruto they now 'knew', "I met the real him: Scarred, fragile, scared, untrusting, and vulnerable. He immediately asked what I wanted from him, like I was an enemy. We went in the back and one of our larger specimens of Venus Flytrap got him, and once he was out he wanted to kill me, thinking I wanted that to happen! He's not some idiot, Forehead...He's a wounded soul, a wounded soul we salted the wound of! He's every reason to be like this, and I could have stopped this from coming to be if I had just done as I'd said I would!"

She choked up slightly, guilt overriding her thoughts as she gripped her head in pain, tears-she-didn't-mean-to-shed falling from her face. "I said I'd be his friend, but I didn't do a damn thing whenever we picked on him! I'm not going to let anyone insult him if I can stop it. He's not just a baka, Sakura, he's stronger than all of us and he could take us all down without breaking a sweat! Other Jonin would give him trouble, but we're smallfry compared to him, WE'RE WEAKLINGS COMPARED TO HIM AND WE PUT HIM DOWN HIS ENTIRE LIFE! HE'S NOT JUST A BAKA, FOREHEAD, HE'S-!"

Anko appeared behind the distraught young woman and chopped at the back of her neck, knocking her out and into the purplette's waiting arms, "She cares for my boy...!" Happy tears made their way into the edges of Anko's eyes as she held the Yamanaka compassionately as she whispered to the unconscious girl, "...Take care of my Gaki, Ino..."

Lee's personal Hell

He awoke to see children surrounding him in his old room from the orphanage, "Why is everyone staring at me oddly?" "You," One of his earliest tormentors from his youth said excitedly, "told us you'd show us the jutsu you've learned! And here we are, waiting for you to wake up." Lee's eyes widened as he saw what this was, making him scream and open as many of the Hachimon as he could while he went through handseals, releasing a large plume of fire from his mouth. Lee's mental integrity is profound, I should really let him go...

The screams of innocents, tears of men and women, and the confusion of the shinobi was all worth it.

Waking world

Lee began to stir violently, convulsing like he was having a seizure. "What's going on?!" "The very thing you did, Choji-kun, when you four were inside of Naruto-kun's illusion. I just hope he is handling it Youthfully." Naruto spoke now, "He is! Very much so. He's figured it out, and I'm making this..." He turned to look Gai in the eye with his slitted blues, "Very Unyouthful!"

A clone appeared next to Naruto, looking rather indifferent to everyone as it pointed at reawakened Ino with a blank stare. "Hm?" Was the platinum blonde's intelligent answer, getting the clone to beckon her to him as he left the clearing. Please let me be wrong... Once they were far away enough from the others Naruto's clone started going through handseals, a blank expression on his(Its?) face. It took a minute for it to sink in, "Oh."

After a minute of going through the appropriate handseals, Naruto's clone bit Ino's thumb and slammed her hand on the ground, sending a mental message of-"KUCHIYOSE NO JUTSU!" Ino's call made a plume of smoke appear, and out of the smoke cloud came three swishing red tails of finely groomed fur. As soon as the smoke cleared entirely, the clone's shoulders slumped and shuddered like he was crying silently. There before them stood a creature not seen by human eyes in over a millennium...(I wanna be an evil son of a bitch as much as any sadist, but I can't...this time*Evil laughter begins*)

This creature wasn't that tall, but it was clearly not something to be trifled with if its fierce glare, javelin-sized fork, sword-sized knife and fiery energy circling around it were any indication. It stood at about the-clone-of-Naruto's shoulder, its fur was fiery red, there was a small fire at the end of each elongated, rabbit-like ear like they were earrings, and the fur overtop its ears was groomed to look like fire. The lagomorph-reminiscent ears on top of its head twitched, revealing them to be cat ears with long, hanging strands of hair-like fur coming down from its head. At the sides of its head were droopy rabbit ears with bangs running down in front of them.

Its rabbit-like legs had feline claws, as did its 'catty' forepaws. Stabbing the ground with its enlarged silverware-with-ruby-orbs-at-the-grips, it stepped forward cautiously, its redish-purple eyes staring at the two of them suspiciously when its eyes befell Naruto's clone. She snarled, letting out a cat-like hiss from her agape mouth, "Kitsune jinchuuriki, how dare you summon me?!" The female voiced feline/lagomorph hybrid glared at Naruto's clone some more before he(It?) sighed heavily, "I didn't, Mars, that was Ino-chan here, beside me. She's of the Yamanaka clan-"

The hissing resumed, more fervently than before as she backed up and grabbed her weapons. Her brow was furrowed, getting light to shine into the three round-rhombus-shaped rubies. It was at this point that the sunlight shined better onto the feminine figured summon. She had a voluptuous bust that bounced when she bounced from foot to the other, clearly anticipating a fight, when it became apparent she had a smaller, second pair of breasts under her first pair. This was about the time that Ino began to feel resentment towards this mysterious, and busty, creature before her.

"I know a lie when I hear one, Kitsunin!" Mars pointed at Ino with her spear-sized fork, "If she were a Yamanaka, half-born or not, she'd have made it clear by now. That is no Yamanaka, Trickster, that is just a lie like all of your other lies! And as I made clear the last time we crossed paths..." She closed her eyes, steeling her resolve, before opening her redish-purple orbs and rushing Ino.

"I WILL DESTROY ALL LIES MADE BY YOUR KIND!" The knife was a centimeter away from Ino's face when said platinum blonde raised her forearms up into an 'x' shape for defense, bringing a medium-large scroll with her, making the nature spirit's blade stop and her eyes widen. This...This cannot be! No human has been able to summon us in over a millenia, so how can this mere mortal girl do so?! "Who are you?!" Mars' wide eyes narrowed as she gritted this out, her greatsword-sized knife trembling with emotions no longer known to humanity.

"Answer me!" Ino jumped slightly at the commanding tone in Mars' voice, "Y-Yamanaka Ino...who are you, Furry-san?" The spirit's eyes narrowed, making Ino tense up and jump back a few feet, "'Furry'-san?!" Receiving a nod, she began laughing heartily at the girl's scared expression, "HAHAHAHAHAHA-That's good, that's clever!-HAHAHAHAHAHA...I like you, Miko," Ino's left eye twitched irritably at the creature's name for her, gritting her teeth to stop herself from blurting out something she'd regret.(The 'i's pronounced the same as it is in Ino's real name, just incase that wasn't clear)

"Anyway, Mars, sh doesn't know who or what you are, so I'd suggest-" He was silenced by a clawed finger pressed to his lips, shutting him up as Mars began to ogle her like a piece of fine meat, "I'm liking what I'm seeing..." She slapped the Yamanaka heiress in the ass, eliciting an embarrassed, indignant, and somewhat pained yelp from the aforementioned flower shop employee. "WHAT WAS THAT FOR?!"

"I'm more of a tits kind of carbuncle myself, but..." Mars stood in front of her right now, looking at her from head to toe before leaning to the side and down to get a better view of what was underneath the skirt, "...I think I'll make an exception for you!" She finished with a lecherously flirtatious wink, sending shivers down Ino's spine and making Naruto's clone try(Key word) to stifle his(Its?) snickering with little to no success.

(I don't want shit 'bout what I've done to Ino right 'ere. She's desirable, an' I'm givin' 'er a summon species that isn't mortal in a sense of human understandin', so some summons might find humans desirable. 'Sides, animals don't care which gender they bone or which way they swing) "Are you...?" Mars' smirk turned from flirtatious to downright horny(I'm evil, 'kay? I said it), "Single?! Why, yes I am! Thank you for noticing. I'm a proud bachelorette!" Just to emphasize her desires, sh slapped Ino in the ass one more time, making Naruto's bunshin burst out in cackles while Mars just smiled at her potential summoner.

"That scroll," Mars said in a kind voice instead of her 'come get fucked stupid' voice, "is my species summoning contract. I'm not an animal, as you've no doubt..." The animal spirit looked towards Ino's sore rump happily and longingly, making aforementioned platinum blonde wince and rub her pained butt. "Uh...'Seen'! Let's go with that. Anyway, I'm a carbuncle."

"A boil of skin, ew!" Ino's words made the bunshin cackle harder, sounding close to death by suffocation, "No, no, Sugar-tits!" A vein threatened to pop on Ino's cheek at the new, and even worse, nickname. "Well, yes and no. Yes, that is one definition of the word. But no, I'm not that carbuncle, I'm a nature spirit!" Naruto's clone slowly stopped laughing with a happy sigh, "In other words, the unholy offspring of the Tsuki no Usagi and Bakeneko, or was it an Akuma Usagi and a Bakeneko...?!"

He(It?) finished with a playful smirk on his(Its?) face before wiping the expression off his face at the sight of the business end of a javelin-sized fork, "You're not that much better, Dog-Cat!" The clone's unheated glare received playful laughter from the feline-lagomorph, "You really-hahahahaha-need to loosen up, Uzumaki. Haaaaahhh, now Miko," And she ducked. Ino's fist was right where her head had been a moment before, making her smirk mischievously at the sight of Ino's skirt.

"Hmm," She purred lecherously, "What could be here, behind curtain number one?!" Yanking the 'offending' piece of clothing down to the platinum blonde's ankles, she was rewarded with a shriek of indignant embarrassment and a shout of a nosebleed, making her smile at the now crouching Ino. "Oooohhh, I didn't know you'd like wearing that in this heat...!" A trickle of blood left the animal spirit's nose. The sound of an indignant fox barking brought the two ladies' attention towards Naruto's clone, seeing it as a fox instead of a person, "Oh, like you didn't want to do it yourself."

The barking became yowls of indignancy before they were silenced by Mars embracing the fox and holding him close to her bosom(s?), "Now isn't that better?" He was silent as Mars returned to the task at hand, while letting the fox onto her shoulders to keep her arms free in case of an emergency, "That scroll you held? It's my kind's contract, I'd suggest you sign it if you wanna get stronger, Yamanaka. My kind hasn't been seen by human eyes in over a millenia, and you are the first human to see me, you have peaked my interest and that's something you shouldn't take lightly."

At that moment, Ino heard the Kage Bunshin's now-present thoughts clearly, Do as she says, Ino-chan. She can help train you in ways I can't, so please take this chance. If not for yourself... The fox looked to her, a silent plead in his slitted eyes, For the rest of us. Looking into his pleading eyes, she nodded and unrolled the scroll, "Just write my name, right?"

"No," Mars said with a shake of the head, "write it in your blood." Without question, Ino did as she was told, before being engulfed in a bright light. "I'm now your personal summon, Yamanaka Ino, but you may call upon my siblings as well whenever you need...or," Mars cupped her own chin in her hand and looked lecherously at the still skirtless Ino, "for 'whatever' you need!" Disappearing in a plume of ember-filled smoke, Mars was gone, leaving Naruto's clone fox on the ground with a very miffed expression on his(Its?) face.

Looking to her expectantly, the bunshin was met with a throwing of blades of grass, "THE POLITE THING TO DO IS LOOK AWAY WHEN A GIRL'S GETTING HER CLOTHES ON!" The fox just scratched behind its ear, not a care in the world as it yawned, I don't see a problem with this situation, Ino-chan... He took a few sniffs of the air now, I don't smell a problem with this situation either, Ino-chan. Who knew you'd find the idea of someone humiliating you arousing? A skirt was then thrown on his face, eliciting a yarp of surprise from the poor animal, when Ino realized that she'd thrown the article of clothing she needed onto her friend's vulpine face.

Naruto's clone fox ran off, freaking the fuck out and running into trees on occasion thanks to the skirt on his face. The 'thievery' of her skirt made Ino groan in immense irritation, "Shit! Now I have to search the woods for my friend and my skirt, in nothing but my panties...!" At that moment, the Yamanaka Heiress was dragged underground and tied up before being thrown over someone's shoulder, the sound of snickering incessant the entire time, "I gotcha, Ino-chan, I gotcha good!"

"Naruto-kun," That's when it sunk in, "EEK! PUT ME DOWN AND GIVE ME BACK MY SKIRT!" Not that far away from them, the others heard that last shriek, getting a few of them to have nosebleeds. "WHY?! WHY IS MY GAKI GROWING UP SO FAST?!" Anko began crying into Kakashi's shoulder dramatically, making said potential Hokage sweatdrop as he patted her on the shoulder hesitantly, "There...there...Hey!" At that moment Anko took an opportunity and the subject of her affections was less than enthused about it, "I'm depressed and need to be cheered up, and grabbing your ass was the only thing that made sense in my mind!"

Everyone who wasn't suffering from a nosebleed and heard her sweatdropped at the mindset she had when the sound of an indignant shout of pain was heard, "WATCH WHERE YOU PUT THOSE HANDS, PAL, OR YOU'RE NOT SEEING TOMORROW'S MORNING WITH WOOD!" A vulpine yowl of laughter left Naruto's throat as he carried Ino over his shoulder, tied up shibari-style again, "HAHAHAHAHAHA, THAT'S HILARIOUS INO-CHAN! But c'mon, you know you like it when I get-OW!" To shut him up Ino headbutt him in the forehead, "I TOLD YOU TO SHUT UP!"

"NO YOU DIDN'T, YOU TOLD ME NOT TO GET HANDSY!" They were literally butting heads at this point, "MY STATEMENT STILL STANDS: SHUT THE FUCK UP, FOXY-KUN!" Naruto's eyes widened and his headbutting faltered, "What...did you just...say?" His stunned expression wasn't unwarranted, as flashes of happier times and better days appeared in front of his eyes.

The senseis heard it too and they also had wide eyes. How did she know to call him that? How did she remember to call him that?! "..." "..." "..." Gai, Anko and Kakashi all looked towards where they'd heard the arguing couple(*A kunai's held to my throat while my face is scratched by a frozen, feminine claw* I mean duo, yeah, hehehehe-help me someone. This chick's crazy, please someone-anyone-HELP ME!).

"I called you 'Foxy-kun', is that alright with you?" Naruto looked ahead of them, an almost unreadable expression on his face, "I..." Ino looked at him expectantly, "Yes?" He swallowed the lump forming in his throat and returned to walking to where his clone had left Ino's skirt, a serious look on his face, "I think you should be quiet the rest of the way." He didn't even look at her when she pouted at him to explain himself, making it clear that any and all conversations were going to be minimal if not nonexistent.

What's with this change in attitude? He's perfectly happy a moment ago, but now...Wait a minute, is that a...tear? True to her thoughts, there were tears rolling down Naruto's cheeks silently. Oh my god, I must've dug up bad memories of someone he met on his trip! "...Who was it?" The jinchuuriki carrying her only glanced at her, "Who was who was what?" "Eh...did that make any sense to you?" Stopping, Naruto looked to the tree tops in thought, "No, it didn't. Now, who're you talking about, Ino-chan?"

"Who," She asked slowly and apologetically, "was it that I reminded you of by calling you that?" He looked to her now, his eyes narrowed in anger that shouldn't have been tempted. "Let me out, Kit, let me destroy her and this pointless guilt you feel!" "...shut up...!" His left hand came to rest on his head as he snarled to no one, "LET ME OUT KIT!" "SHUT UP, TEME!" The snarl he released was completely feral, showing how much this topic pained him.

It took a few moments before Naruto calmed down enough to talk to his passenger, "...She was..." Tears came down his cheeks at the memory of his 'lost' friend as he smiled in sad nostalgia, "Incredible! She knew how to cheer me up when I was sad, or how to keep me in my place when I was out of line while never raising a finger to hurt me unless absolutely necessary. That young woman could, as-hehehe-as corny as it sounds, calm storms and tame demons...like me. She understood what it was like to be an outcast and yet, she never had trouble fitting in. It was like she knew me better than myself, as cheesy as that may be!"

He gave a teary-eyed smile to the noontime sun, but Ino felt like the sun was setting with the shadows in the way they were. "Perfect, would be the word to describe her, but alas...good things never last, and I will never know the feeling she made within me ever again. For who could love a monstrous demon like me?" His passenger shook like crazy and headbutt him at that last comment, "DON'T SAY THAT, NARUTO, DON'T YOU DARE SAY THAT! YOU'RE NOT A DEMON, AND DON'T YOU FOR A SECOND THINK OTHERWISE OR I'LL NEVER FORGIVE YOU!"

"AND WHY THE HELL SHOULDN'T I, HUH?! I'VE ONLY KNOWN VIOLENCE, ALL I'VE BEEN CALLED BY THE VILLAGE IS 'DEMON' SO MUCH THAT IT MIGHT AS WELL BE MY NAME, AND I'M ALWAYS ALONE!" He yelled this out with so much anger that tears began to fall from Ino's face now too, "I HAVE NO CHANCE AT LIVING A HAPPY LIFE, AND ALL BECAUSE-RRAAAWWWWHHHHH! DESTROY HER KIT, LET ME OUT AND I'LL END YOUR SUFFERING-SHUT UP!"

He let go of the bound Yamanaka and held his head, falling to his knees in pain as he fought his 'other self'. "YOU WON'T HURT HER, TEME, I WON'T LET YOU HURT THEM LIKE YOU HURT EVERYONE ELSE! YOU'RE THE REASON I'M-No-HE'S THE REASON I'M ALL ALONE! Now shut up and stay shut, I've someone to beat on...!" The crazed look in his eyes was brief as he slumped to the ground, his body twitching every now and then while Ino was left to her own devices.

Naruto's mindscape, Inner Sanctum

WHERE ARE YOU, MINATO?! STOP HIDING FROM ME! Naruto changed his mental appearance and ran, four legs a blur as he searched for the source of his pain. It was after about seventeen minutes he found the bastard looking through his memories nonchalantly, making Naruto's blood boil as he rammed the Yondaime's chakra echo in the stomach.

"I see you're...still pissed off, eh...Naru-chan?" The blonde man before Naruto was slightly taller than he was and wore a haori with flame motifs at the bottom, but was basically a carbon copy of the Jonin jinchuuriki, or the other way around. You think?! You're the reason I was near death on several occasions. If you'd left me with both halves of the youkai in my stomach, I wouldn't have been scared for my life half the time by knowing I wouldn't need to worry. Also, you trusted the civilians to believe that a child with a demon sealed in him wasn't said monster. Look where that got you, Datteboyo!

"Hey, it was either that leave you to Danzo!" WHICH HONESTLY SOUNDS BETTER AT THE MOMENT! The Yondaime's chakra echo had wide eyes at that last comment, "What do you mean?" I WAS ALONE EVERY DAMNED DAY, EXPECTING YOU AND MY MOTHER TO STOP THE BEATINGS! AND YOU ACTUALLY THOUGHT THAT THE IGNORANT, ARROGANT VILLAGERS WOULD THINK THAT A CHILD WITH A DEMON INSIDE IT WAS SAFE?! Danzo's a lot of things, but he at least isn't going to have left his tools with nothing but washed up hopes and dreams!

The hatred in Naruto's eyes made Minato feel fear, for one second he feared his son, "I HAD TO DO WHAT I DID OR THE VILLAGE WOULD HAVE BEEN DESTROYED!" THAT'S A BAD THING?! THAT VILLAGE IS UNGRATEFUL AND ARROGANTLY THINKS ITSELF SMARTER THAN THE REST, ALONG WITH ASSUMING THAT IT'S UNTOUCHABLE 'CAUSE YOU WON A SINGLE WAR! I don't hate you, or your reasons, I HATE THAT YOU WERE NAIVE ENOUGH TO THINK I'D BE SAFE IN THE HANDS OF A NARCISSISTIC, IGNORANTLY ARROGANT, VILLAGE OF MOTHERFUCKING MORONS!

Minato had a guilty look in his eyes now, seeing that his faith was clearly misplaced, "I see..." NO YOU DON'T! YOU'RE JUST SAYING THAT SO THE BOY YOU HOPED TO RAISE WON'T YELL AT YOU! I'm not that strong yet, but , He said this with disdain, can tell you for damn sure that I don't have to let you pass on. The boy you held at his birth DIED, BECAUSE YOU TRUSTED KONOHA TO UPHOLD YOUR WISHES AND ALL THAT REMAINS IS ME: A BATTLE-HARDENED, BLOODTHIRSTY, KITSUNE-ENTHUSIASTIC PSYCHOPATH WHO'S NEVER KNOWN OR WILL KNOW A MOTHER'S LOVE! ALL 'CAUSE A DAMN VILLAGE COULDN'T DO A THING FOR ITSELF AND A MASKED MAN HAD NO SOUL...You ruined my life, by leaving me with half a demon that could've kept me alive, and I'm now bitter 'cause you didn't have any faith in me...

Minato was then engulfed in all of Naruto's memories concerning his childhood. He saw a young Naruto huddled in a corner, rocking himself back and forth, whispering and crying for his parents to save him from 'the mean monsters in people skins'. The apartment was burned, broken down, blown up and demolished all because Naruto lived there and each time he went to the hospital he left a little more bitter. It was at the worst memory of Naruto's childhood that brought the Yondaime Hokage to his knees.

A Gaiden age Naruto was backed up against the dead end wall of an alleyway when he was grabbed by a pair of men, wearing only their shirts, who then proceeded to use the scared and scarred boy as a cock sleeve. "No more, show me no more, Naru-chan..." A growl left the real Naruto's throat, You now see why I resent you?! Because I was left in the hands of a man who didn't give a damn about me, I was practically handed over to those molesting motherfuckers! I can't hate you, you are the reason I'm even alive, but I don't see you as my father. I never had parents, they died the day I was born as far as I'm concerned... Leaving the emtionally broken chakra echo, Naruto returned to reality with a heavy sigh, But I'll never forget what they did for me.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

That's a motherfuckin' wrap ladies, gents, and other! I'm sorry this came out so late, I've been busy with my uncle doin' odd jobs around my hometown and I've had little to no inspiration. Sorry if the chapter sucked, an' I don't want shit 'bout Ino bein' sexually harassed by her summon, it's just like with Taurus and Lucy from Fairy Tail. Anyway, since I don't have any questions I can think of to answer, as always: R&R, no flamin' my ass, constructive criticism, and SEE YA-GOOD NIGHT!
