Gruntet6666: Found your pm in browser -idk why, but mobile and browser ff just doesn't seem to sync with each other when it come to inbox and outbox-.
Forgottenkami: Naruto didn't reject her, per se. in chapter two, he is yet to get used to the world and just thought Ino as a classmate who want to visit him when he's studying. and because they're not that close in his previous world, and the fact he would rather study in silence without someone who he knew as chatterbox around, he refused her request to visit him in his study.
as for Hinata, to him, she was a silent girl.
I could use any other women except Yakumo Kurama, of course. however, I use her for reasons xD. and in this chapter, one of those reasons will be seen.
raelarial1: Most of the romance will be slow burn. Despite the women around him want a piece of him, Naruto won't accept all of them just like that and become uncaring time and place. He is, after all, a romantic at heart...
the slow pace is more from me wanting to explain how Naruto balancing his romantic life and new responsibility. all the while making sure that none of the women around become a rabid beast.
WhateverPlus: Thanks man!
doveofwar1: Really? I'm glad if you think so! xD
.
..
that's all from me today peeps, I hope y'all enjoy this new chapter and of course, I hope everyone have a good day.
xD
Chapter 11, Kyuubi
START!
A huge cave behind a huge torii gate, that's what greeted Naruto when he climbed off Yakumo's back. And even though there's still a few hundred meters distance between him and the cave, he could still easily taste it in the air…
The hatred, the darkness, and the killing intent permeated the whole area.
Fortunately for him, he had years of experience facing such darkness back in his world, and thus, the air doesn't really bother him that much.
The others?
Except for Yakumo, the armies of elite samurais and ninjas fell to their knees, gasping for life. Fear and trepidation are visible in their eyes.
This is why he didn't want to bring so many people here, honestly.
But, well…
He thought the Kyuubi in this world might be a lot weaker than the Kyuubi in his world. Seems like he was wrong about that single fact.
"Husband… I'm sorry about this, had I knew this would happen, I would bring ninjas from Kurama clan and not these people"
Yakumo said with a visible frown on her lips, showing her dissatisfaction toward her own samurais and his private guards.
Why did she think ninjas from the Kurama clan would fare better against Kyuubi's hatred, he doesn't know.
"It's alright… I was planning to meet Kyuubi alone, in the first place"
Naruto said simply, ignoring Yakumo's deepening frown.
He knew Kyuubi…
They were not that close, that's true. However, he knows the basics of Kyuubi's personality and he also knows that as long he plays his card right, the Kyuubi in this world won't hurt him.
Plus, he was pretty quick on his feet, so it should be possible for him to run if the Kyuubi become wrathful.
"That's dangerous, Husband"
Here, Naruto shook his head several times and started to walk toward the cave.
"Stay here and don't disturb me… that's an order"
He doesn't hear any response from the Fire Daimyo.
But nonetheless, he could sense it as the Daimyo got her feet rooted to their ground after she heard his 'order'.
Neat…
Let's just hope this woman knows the meaning of no when he says no, unlike Shizune.
Then again, he won't mind it even if she disobeys.
Cause he will still love her all the same…
.
..
..
It took him half an hour of walking before in the end, Naruto reached the end of the cave.
The ceiling of the cave was destroyed, giving light to the area in front of him. And in said area, resting its head on its human-like arms, Kyuubi, a creature as huge as a small mountain can be seen… its red eyes opened the moment he came.
Hatred, maliciousness, and intent to kill washed the area almost immediately.
For what reason have you come to my abode… Uzumaki?
Naruto spread his arms here, showing the creature that he doesn't bring any weapon or anything that could threaten it.
"I just wish to talk…"
Talk…?
There was a brief of crimson, and before Naruto can even fathom it, Kyuubi's large, red eyeball was already right in front of him, staring at him with hatred, yet a tint of confusion.
Sniff
Ah… I see… you're not him. you're not the son of Kushina and that bastard Minato.
… You're not Naruto Uzumaki.
Naruto narrowed his eyes here.
How the creature immediately concluded something like that, he doesn't know. But nonetheless, his fists clenched tightly after he heard Kyuubi's words.
"I am Naruto Uzumaki… son of Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki. And I'll punch you if you dare badmouth my father again"
Passion, justified anger, and fearlessness can be seen in Naruto's eyes as he glares hard at Kyuubi.
The creature itself seems to be uncaring about this and merely lets out a huff of hot breath toward him. two large, red eyes staring at him with the same contempt.
Lies… I see everything, child. I know Naruto Uzumaki. Know his despicable acts behind the scene, know how he looks at the world like some kind of game, and know that he had nothing good about inside that black heart of his.
… You're not him.
It was a conclusion.
No matter what Naruto might say to the creature, it has seen through him.
For a small second, Naruto opened his mouth only to close it back, not knowing what to say to refute Kyuubi's short explanation for its conclusion.
…
Kyuubi watches him in silence… trying to read him.
Seconds turn into minutes, and the two stay rooted to the ground, watching and trying to read each other.
In the end, Kyuubi broke the silence…
Tell me who you are, and I'll tell you what you wish to know…
The creature said as it closes its eyes, seemingly knowing that he would take time to answer the question.
Seconds turn into minutes, and Naruto can only stare.
He…
He doesn't know what to say to Kyuubi.
Sure, he made a conclusion that he is probably in a different world altogether. And in this world, he is living like a god inside a body of a mortal.
But what if he is wrong…?
What if… this world is his and the wish he said to the orb actually bent the reality itself to create this new reality?
And thus, he cannot answer Kyuubi's question.
At the very least, not without any hesitation…
"I'm sorry… but I don't know how to answer your question. However, it wasn't a lie when I call myself Naruto Uzumaki"
Open
One of Kyuubi's eyes opened, seeing nothing but honesty in his voice.
An exasperated sigh came out of the creature's huge jaw, creating a large gust of hot wind that made Naruto tumble on his step for a brief second.
The blonde's eyebrows twitched when this happened.
Ugh…
Such a foul smell.
Come here… and touch my claw. I'll ask your heart directly if you don't know how to answer my simple question.
The words were said in a mocking tone, mocking the boy's inability to answer such a normal and easy question.
And as the Kyuubi said those words, it stretched one of its front paws and let a huge claw stop right in front of Naruto, waiting patiently for the boy to do what it told him to do.
Staring at a glistening huge claw in front of him, Naruto shivered in fear.
From the size alone, he knows that the claw could easily kill him with nothing but a small jab to his chest.
"U-Uh… o-okay"
While a bit hesitant at first, Naruto, in the end, steeled his resolve and take a hold of the tip of Kyuubi's claw with one of his hands.
For a second, he was reminded of a rude fox that gave him a death threat every morning.
He was reminded of the creature who chided him for his weakness.
And he was reminded of the fact that he is, in fact, missing the creature's presence…
Kyuubi… his friend.
And he felt a tug on his consciousness when he thinks like this.
.
..
-Later-
"Have you gone crazy?"
A question stated with nothing but anger was thrown from Shizune toward the newest Daimyo of the Fire Nation.
She had just finished with her training when the strongest among the guards came and told her that their master have gone with Yakumo to meet the nine-tailed fox.
That alone would be alright…
But here, Yakumo just told her that her Naruto-sama has gone inside… alone!
And thus, her question.
The word 'anger' alone is not enough to explain the boiling feeling she's experiencing. And had it not for Yakumo being Naruto's fiancé, she probably would've murdered the woman the second she finished her sentence.
Though, unlike her, Yakumo herself still looks as calm as possible…
"For one, my husband told me to stay. Secondly, Kyuubi is not a mindless creature… I let it stay on my clan's land for a reason. Thirdly, Naruto was wrapped in my clothing prior to our arrival, Kyuubi knew my scent and won't hurt someone who has my scent. Hmph, Naruto fearlessly entered Kyuubi probably because he knows all of those and even more than that… and here… you. Making him look bad by not trusting his capabilities"
Yakumo said calmly, mocking the woman who call herself Naruto's aide.
Under her sleeves, Shizune's fists turn white from how tightly she's gripping said hands while her eyes glare hatefully toward Yakumo.
A glare easily ignored by the Daimyo in question…
"If something happened to him because of your stupid blunder, believe me, I'll gouge out every organ inside your body… and you'll feel every second of it"
Shizune threatened, ignoring all of the words said by Yakumo as worry for Naruto and anger for the Daimyo envelop her whole being.
For minutes… or hours… the two stood there, glaring at each other.
.
..
"Oh, Shizune. Are you here to pick me up? Sorry that I went without telling you anything"
As the sun goes does, Naruto himself came out of the cave and saw his fiancé and assistant standing outside and seemingly staring at each other with hatred in their eyes.
Fortunately, their glare broke when he called on Shizune.
Shizune's eyes immediately went in his direction while letting out a very heavy sigh, and knowing he probably made her worry so much, Naruto let the woman walk in his direction and check on him.
Yakumo herself tried to make sure to make herself calm, but Naruto did notice a small sigh that she made, probably also happy that he came out safe and sound.
"…"
Not answering his question, Shizune keeps checking on his body with two glowing palms and worry in her eyes.
And knowing that he won't get any answer out of her, Naruto turns his attention to Yakumo…
"Have you found the answer you seek, husband?"
The woman said, one sleeve going to her mouth and hiding it from sight.
Seeing this, Naruto merely gave her a small nod…
"Yes… however, I still have a business with Kyuubi-san for a week or two. Can I ask you for a favor and make us a camp in front of the cave?"
Nor Shizune, nor Yakumo missed the newly added -san suffix behind the Kyuubi. Something that made them stare at each other for a brief second… confused.
However, not going to ask for fear it would be seen as rude in Naruto's eyes, the two chose to keep silent about it.
"Of course, husband. I shall order my people to create it just as you wish"
Yakumo said with a small smile, pretty much happy that she will have his favor.
And then, she turned around. Though, before she can walk away…
"Wait"
Naruto called her.
An action that makes her turn her attention back to him once again, this time with confusion in her eyes that can be easily seen had it not for the cloth covering her face.
She got her answer then.
"T-The others are pretty far and there's only three of us here… I-I mean, do you want to kiss? I would like to thank you for bringing me here"
Naruto said shyly, cheeks reddening in an act of embarrassment.
On the side, Shizune is glaring at Yakumo with hatred and jealousy in her eyes.
Yakumo herself…?
Her red lips went from cheek to cheek as she grinned super widely from the happiness she feels. Though of course, she hides this behind the cover of her sleeve once again as she doesn't want her husband to see something so unsightly.
"Of course, husband. Come here… and let me hold you"
Uncaring that she would dirty kimono dress, Yakumo took on two knees to the ground so she was at the same level as Naruto. Her hands, hidden under a pair of very wide sleeves gently spread, awaiting Naruto to enter her embrace.
Naruto's face turned redder here as the Daimyo's scent wafted to his nostril.
Just like when they had their date, Yakumo was using her aphrodisiac perfume…
"…"
Not saying anything, Naruto walked in her direction and gently wraps his hands around her waist. All the while, Yakumo's hands are closing behind him. one arm wrapped around the top of his head while the other arm around his waist. And because of her wide sleeves, Naruto soon found himself cannot see anything, caged inside her kimono silk.
"U-Uh…"
"Don't be afraid, husband. I know that you're shy, so I'm just making sure that no one would see our kisses… I hope you don't mind"
Uh… kisses? Naruto asked inwardly.
He is pretty sure that he said a kiss, right?
But then again, even if Yakumo wanted to embrace him and kisses him for a whole day, he wouldn't mind. A beautiful and sexy woman like her wants to devour his lips and mouth? There's just no way he would mind such a thing.
"…"
Wordlessly, Naruto nodded.
And he practically could feel Yakumo's grin when her lips touched his. Gently pecking his lips like someone who had candy for the first time in their life.
Soon, Naruto's breath began to get ragged as the mix of aphrodisiac in the air and the warm, nice-scented breath of Yakumo hit his nostril again and again.
"Ya-mgghn~"
Yakumo's tongue came inside without knocking the moment he opened his mouth. Wiggling like a warm, sticky, and very active snake inside his mouth.
More from surprise than anything else, Naruto jerked his body a little and tried to push her off.
Unfortunately -fortunately honestly- the woman refused to let him go and merely tighten her embrace on him, at the same time also deepening their kiss even more so than before, so much that their face mushing again each other.
From the movement, Yakumo's face cover went to the side…
Inside the darkness, Naruto then saw it.
A pair of yellow predatory eyes akin to a snake, watching and ogling him with desires. The slits made it look more menacing than normal eyes, but at the same time, made the eyes look like they have more desires than normal eyes.
To him, it was mesmerizing.
It was always glares.
It was always hatred.
And now, inside the darkness, he sees desire with nothing else to see.
And he loves it.
Gently, his arms unwrapped themselves from Yakumo's waist. One went to her neck and returned her embrace while the other one went to her face, palm cupping her cheek while his thumb gently caressed the part under her eye.
I'll accept you, is what he was telling Yakumo.
For a few seconds, everything was silent as Yakumo's predatory eyes watches him with wonder. But once she realized what his action meant, she began to assault his mouth so passionately and so full of desire that it wouldn't be wrong if he said that Yakumo is raping his mouth instead of kissing it.
.
..
"I want to mate with you"
Half an hour later, the two broke their kiss, with Naruto gasping for the air he need, unlike Yakumo who seem to be in more control of her breathing.
They're still embracing each other though, with Naruto cannot see anything inside the darkness except Yakumo's glowing, snake-like eyes.
Even after their kiss broke and her need for air, Yakumo seems to still have the energy to give him kisses across his face, an action that probably make his face filled with red marks of lipstick.
"W-We can't… you're yet to tell your underlings to make a camp, right? And I really wish to rest"
Naruto said calmly to Yakumo, answering her statement with a fact that she cannot refute whatsoever.
But then again, he already came…
It might sound pathetic, but as Yakumo raped his mouth, all the while the air around him began to get thick with aphrodisiac, mixing with the woman's pheromone, everything just put him in such a lustful trance that a small movement he made with his waist made him cum.
And this happened several times already, and thus, he no longer has the drive to have sex.
Fortunately for him, it seems Yakumo herself also came several times because he can feel his butt on top of her lap getting wet.
"Hmm… I guess that is true. Then I shall resist my desire to make love with you for now"
And thus, albeit hesitant, Yakumo in the end unwrapped her arms from him and broke their embrace.
The air hit him nicely as the soft, remaining light of the sun warm his skin.
And here, Naruto stood, arms spread and eyes looking at the sky… a tint of regret in said cerulean blue orbs.
Ah…
Fuck it.
He should've let Yakumo fuck him until he passes out.
.
For a small second, Naruto's eyes went to the cave where Kyuubi reside. Hatred toward humanity itself permeates the entrance, so thick that normal people would feel like waddling inside water.
"Kyuubi-san…"
He muttered lowly under his breath… regret and sadness in his tone as he remembered what he saw and felt back when he was connected to the creature.
-Flashback-
Gasping for air, Naruto fell to his buttock… heavy amount of sweat covering his whole body. His eyes… trembling.
In front of Naruto, Kyuubi… no… Kurama stares at him with something akin to respect.
I see… so that's what you meant. You're Naruto, but at the same time, you're not Naruto that I knew… so fortunate. I was sick of that boy, and it might come as rude, but I'm glad he is already no longer here.
"…"
Not knowing what to say, Naruto was silent.
Are you confused…?
Here, he nodded.
We were connected. You probably saw it in my memory, my father made Ninshu back in the past so people could understand each other. What we did, it was the most basic applicant of ninshu, where two or more people connected their chakra together, and just as you saw my past, I saw yours… Naruto.
No…
It's not seeing a memory.
Naruto's eyes were trembling here, remembering what Kurama experienced in the past.
He saw it.
He lived through it.
It was not a simple seeing someone's memory because he was forced to see and feel what the owner of the memories saw and felt.
Understanding each other.
Yes… he now understood Kyuubi, Kurama. Because he experienced what Kurama lived through from its creation to its sealing.
Do not lead it astray… it was a side-effect of the first time using Ninshu. Remember who you are, push my memories aside so your memories can take a hold of you once again.
Hearing the creature's words, Naruto tries his best to calm his nerve.
And just like it said, soon, his memories took a hold of his mind once again… as for Kyuubi's memories, it's just like a livid dream he had.
Though, unlike most livid dreams, he can still remember everything.
Good… I believe you found your answer in my memory, yes?
"… Yeah"
Why didn't you return to Konoha and destroy it if you're not sealed?
That was what he wanted to ask the creature, something that he honestly didn't know how to ask in the first place. A stupid mistake from him, if he can be honest.
But then again, he got his answer.
Kyuubi is not a bloodthirsty monster who wants nothing but to kill all humanity.
It just… lost trust in humanity after so many years of watching them kill each other after the death of its father, the sage of the six paths, Hagoromo Otsutsuki.
It attacked Hashirama Senju because Madara Uchiha controlled it with Sharingan.
And it attacked Konoha also because it was being controlled by Sharingan of a masked man.
Two times…
Only two times that it attacked humanity, and never it was done by its own will. And yet, people made so many bad names for it despite the years Kurama spent guarding them.
Kurama clan.
Only this single clan still remembers their dept toward it even to this day. And thus, the reason Yakumo Kurama let it stay on her land and even made a great torii gate in front of the cave so Kurama could feel more at home.
Her clan ancestor was blessed by Kyuubi, and feeling grateful, the ancestor decided to put Kurama's name as their last name so their descendant will never forget the debt that must be repaid.
And it works.
"I'm sorry"
Here, Naruto knelt down with his forehead on the ground, asking for forgiveness.
Judged.
He was judged unfairly by the people back in his world, and he hate the feeling, he knows it all too well because of the years he was being judged.
And yet here he was, hating and judging Kurama just because the creature was sealed inside of him.
He feels bad for it… no… he feels like the worst human humanity can offer.
It's alright. You're young, and I understand why you hated me… is there anything else you wish to know?
Kurama asked before he can say anything, not willing the boy to wallow in his self-pity anymore. And knowing this, Naruto stood, still looking slightly regretful, but know that Kurama is not that patient enough for him to keep going.
But…
A question?
What kind of question does he want to know the answer now that he experienced what Kurama had lived through?
Oh, wait…
"This world… why does this world doesn't have lust and why does this body can ignite lust from female population?"
Ah… a hard question, something that even I cannot be sure of. Nonetheless, a good question to be asked.
Kurama mused softly under its breath.
Soft or not, Naruto can still feel the wind when the creature spoke.
Still, he waits…
It is only my guess, but did you know about the existence of other worlds except yours?
Here, Naruto nodded.
"Yes, there was some kind of book that I read about theory of other living organisms in the outer space"
That's not 'world', boy. Planets with living organisms exist in the universe you were in and you could visit them if you can fly.
The world I meant is another world entirely, something that exists outside the bubble of space of your world itself.
To sum it up, it would be like this.
World the bubble around the Universe billion of Galaxies Galaxy Solar system Star and planet
With a single claw, Kurama made a single large circle on the ground in front of Naruto when it said 'world' and then followed by littler circles inside the previous circle every time it said the following words after the 'world'.
Watching this, Naruto's brain was fried almost immediately…
Planet… where he lives… is so tiny.
You saw my memories, so you should know that because I was made of the largest piece of the god tree, I'm more attuned to the chakra permeating the whole world. Basically said, I'm all-seeing when it comes to chakra.
And yet…
I didn't know you, which can only mean one thing.
Here, Kurama created another large circle beside the previous 'world' circle.
You're from a different world altogether.
Which makes me wonder about one thing.
With wisdom accumulated through the thousands of years it lived, Kyuubi's eyes glinted rather happily when it started to create even more large circles around the previous two circles.
Time runs differently in each world. Naruto and his classmates are older in this world compared to yours because of that.
You follow me thus far, boy?
Here, Naruto nodded a little.
It was a lot to take in… but fortunately, he's still following what Kyuubi's saying.
Alright, and here comes my guess.
Kurama created a single line between the two side-to-side 'world' circles, something that made Naruto's eyes narrow in thought.
He… kinda sees where Kurama's going with this.
Time.
Time.
For a few minutes, more specifically, the time when I attack Konoha, it probably happened right at the same time Kurama in your world attacked Konoha.
Time is as strong as space, and when the two worlds lapsed into a single time, the space intertwined.
When the two worlds met, they each complement each other, and for this world that had no lust, it tried to copy the concept of lust from your world. And because Naruto was in the middle of this cosmic activity, his body was rewritten by the concept of lust itself.
Yin and Yang, balance have to present in anything, even chaos.
In this world, Naruto's body was rewritten… and thus, in your world, your soul must've been changed by the time-lapse between two worlds. As for what kind of change, I have no idea.
.
..
For a few minutes, the two turn silent, not muttering anything. Though, Naruto broke the silence when another question popped into his mind.
"It's… just a theory, right?"
Kurama's huge head nodded a little.
Yes, it was a sound theory. Nonetheless, it was still a theory, and I cannot guarantee the truth behind it.
The creature said, not going to lie about such a thing.
It was a sound theory, considering Naruto's strange body composition that makes it able to ignite lust from the female population is not something that can be explained by medical knowledge or even chakra knowledge.
If it can be explained by the latter, Kurama would've known what made Naruto's body so different than other humans.
"But then… Naruto from this world… he must be…"
Yeah, the fact you and that bastard swapped places basically solidifies my theory. when you're fifteen and that bastard just reached nineteen, both of you did something identical.
Both of you wished for something to the orbs in the forest of death.
You wished to be accepted, wished for friends that you never had.
That bastard wished for entertainment because he was bored of this world.
The time lapsed, the same action was done by two Naruto, and thus, the two of you switched your souls. You who should have something special about your soul now contain the body blessed by the world itself. All the while, that stupid bastard now has nothing…
Basically said, both Naruto should have plus and minus respectively. And yet, here he is, having plus and plus in body and soul, is what Kurama was saying while another Naruto now has minus and minus.
"I… feel bad for him"
Naruto said lowly.
Yes… he is happy in this world. But it still makes him feel bad that his happiness came at the cost of the destruction of someone's life.
Don't be… that bastard might be spoiled and rotten to the core. But he's still slick and tyrannical. I, for one, pity for your world and your world's Kurama now that I know that bastard lives there.
Naruto cannot do anything but nod slowly, agreeing with what Kurama just said.
He doesn't really have friends in that world… but still, he had people who care about his well-being.
Jiji.
Teuchi and his daughter, Ayame.
Iruka-sensei.
And Kurama…
Sadness overcomes his soul as he thinks about what would those people feel when he suddenly changes into someone who cares for no one but himself.
Tell me… what is your plan now, Naruto Uzumaki…? You who has the body of lust concept and a blessed soul.
What is your plan for this world you reside in?
Here, Kurama raised his whole body and stares down at Naruto menacingly. Just like a cat glaring at a small mouse that can do nothing.
Naruto raised his head in defiance, staring back at Kurama fearlessly.
"I wish to make a world where peace reign… where wars no longer happen across all nations. I wish to unite the people under one banner, that is my plan for this world"
Small it is, Kurama let out a grunt.
Where peace 'reign'.
At the very least you're not naïve enough to think that eternal peace can happen.
Just as light exists, the shadow has to exist too in some way or another. Yin and Yang, the balance must exist in all things, even chaos.
In this manner, you're more mature than my own father who thinks that love can solve anything.
Love without power is nothing but passion.
But power without love is tyrannical.
My father and his mother fought over this matter and he ended up sealing her up inside the moon, the victory made him think that love is the answer to everything, forgetting that without power, he wouldn't be able to seal his mother in the first place.
.
Give me your hand, child of man…
Naruto did so without any fear, trusting the creature he might call his only friend back in his world and the only one he understood deeply in this world.
A friend, that's what Kurama is to him.
As the tip of Kurama's claw touched the back of Naruto's palm, a symbol of nine, flurry tails can be seen.
Call my name if you need me.
I shall come and be your ears if you need to vent on something.
I shall be your advisor and give you some suggestions on something you might be confused about.
And I shall be your spear that will kill your enemy.
Just remember one thing…
.
..
Keep your heart, do not ever change and be corrupted by the darkness in this world.
Cause believes me, I'll be the one who notices it if that moment ever comes.
And I will kill you.
BAM!
and thus, a jailor and his tenant met under different circumstance.
I give a small plot twist where Kurama clan where Yakumo reside is actually a clan blessed by Kurama himself. I actually always think this as a fact because Yakumo's demonic bloodline just never got explanation whether in anime or manga.
after all, it's just like Kaguya and Kimimaro who's from Kaguya clan. both can wield their bones to some extent, and of course, much more deadly for the former.
anyway...
that's all for me today.
thanks for reading and I hope y'all have a good day.
Ciao~
