Hello all Storm here with a new chapter! Here we'll be seeing the beginning of Naruto's time at the Amatsu Shrine, seeing some more interactions with Ai, Mai and Genshū (their grandmother), as well as learning more about Naruto himself. So, without further ado.
I own nothing
Screams echoed through the air as fire lit up the night sky around Mt. Oinari, while towering over the mountain village was a massive nine-tailed fox. Being even larger than the mountains surrounding the village as the fox grinned cruelly as it rampaged through the village, killing everyone in its path.
Naruto couldn't help but look in mesmerized shock and horror at the sight of his father's attack on Mt. Oinari, seeing the terror and destruction he unleashed that night. And no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't look away as Kurama continued his rampage. Watching as buildings and people alike were trampled under his feet, others being sent flying by the hurricane force winds created by his swinging tails, or incinerated by blasts of Foxfire until not even their ashes remained.
The whiskered blonde tried as hard as he could to look away, but felt he couldn't turn from the carnage, only to flinch when Kurama's blood-red slitted eye suddenly turned towards him.
"I see you, Naruto."
This made Naruto stumble back in shock that Kurama actually looked and spoke directly at him, before growing nervous when his father appeared right in front of him in a different form.
With Kurama now taking on his true human form, an adult man with fair skin, long, messy and spiky crimson red hair with two fox ears on top of his head, as well as his nine tails emerging from his tailbone and his blood-red eyes with slit pupils, he also had elongated canines and clawed hands and feet. While his attire consisted of a long crimson red kimono that exposed his muscular chest with the sleeves ripped off leaving the armholes torn and ragged along with the ends of it, a yellow obi around his waist that also had tattered ends, black pants with tattered ends like the rest of his clothes, equally tattered yellow leg warmers around his lower legs and greyish-brown sandals. Kurama also had spiked magenta chains loosely wrapped around his neck, waist and arms, with the chains connected to two rings a small one in the center of his waist and a larger one in the middle of his chest.
The sight of his father's appearance left Naruto paralyzed in fear, unable to do anything as Kurama approached him. The only thing he could do was move his eyes, seeing their surroundings begin changing from the burning village to the crater at Mt. Oinari, where the village chief's tower had been constructed.
Naruto knowing it was the same spot where Hiruzen and his friends had defeated and sealed away his father, years ago.
"What's the matter? Aren't you happy to see dear old dad? No smile? No hug?"Kurama asked mockingly with a dark, fanged smirk, while Naruto tried burying his fear and glared at him.
"I-I'm not scared of you! This isn't real, you're still sealed away!" Said Naruto, only to shiver when Kurama let out a taunting laugh.
"I'm sealed?! Perhaps for now, but that old fool will learn soon enough that no human could ever hope to keep me locked away forever! Eventually, my prison will weaken and I will be free, and once I'm out I'm going to take my time slaughtering every single human in that village of his while he watches, before burning it to the ground. And then I'll be moving onto the rest of Japan, then the entire world! I'll wipe out every last insect on Earth and reshape it into my own image!"Declared Kurama with malice shining in his eyes at what he'll do once he's freed, eager to see the world as it was meant to be shaped.
"That's never going to happen!" Naruto retorted, refusing to let his father ever get the chance to destroy the world, with his words only amusing the Daiyōkai.
Only for Kurama to sneer in disgust at his offspring's appearance, the blonde hair and blue eyes, making him look far more like a Zenko than a Yako, like himself. If there's one thing he regretted about the form he took to seduce Naruto's mother, it's that it made him look too much like those pathetic, sorry excuses for Kitsune.
"Really? And why is that?" Kurama asked as he smirked in amusement.
"Someone will stop you! You were stopped before and you'll be stopped again!" Said Naruto, making Kurama laugh tauntingly once more.
"Stop me?! Who could even hope to stop me?! That old fool Sarutobi?! He's grown weak in his old age and could never hope to even survive fighting me again. Even when he was in his prime, he needed the help of his precious friends just to seal me away the last time, but now they're all dead! There's no one left that could ever hope to stand against me!" Said Kurama pridefully, knowing there's no one that has a chance of defeating him again, and if by some chance there is, he'll be prepared this time.
"Then I'll stop you! I don't care how powerful you are, I'm not letting you destroy the world!" Said Naruto, glaring at his father, before Kurama grabbed him by collar and cruelled laughed in his face.
"You wanna know something funny? Kushina said something similar when she thought she could keep me from taking you. I'll even admit that among all the humans I've manipulated, she proved to be a very entertaining toy, but a toy nonetheless." Kurama said before his appearance began changing.
With his hair shortening and becoming more spiky like Naruto's own and turning the same shade of blonde, his skin getting a light tan and his eyes turning the same cerulean blue with normal round pupils. The only thing that showed it's still Kurama were the whisker marks and the cruel smirk on his face.
"You should've seen how easy it was for me to manipulate her, making her believe I was a Zenko, getting her to fall in love with me and lower her guard. It was one of the best performances I ever put on. And then when I finally had her right where I wanted her, I revealed what I really was and it was…magnificent!" Said Kurama, smiling sadistically at the memory, while Naruto began shaking the more he heard.
"The shock and self-loathing she felt when I revealed my true form and had my way with her, it was worth every moment I spent pretending to give a damn about her! Even more surprising is when she decided to keep you after finding out she was pregnant. I'm not sure if that should be considered noble or just pathetic, that she'd keep the child of the demon that raped her and actually tried protecting you! You, a constant reminder of how weak she is!" Kurama said tauntingly, only for this to send the Uzumaki over the edge.
Growling in rage at Kurama's words, a reddish-orange aura began surrounding Naruto as his eyes turned red with slit pupils and his whisker marks became more jagged. Only to wince as he felt the Eight Trigrams Seal begin working to suppress his Yōki. But he was able to access it long enough as he made some handsigns.
"Fire Style: Grand Fireball Jutsu!" Naruto said, unleashing a large, point-blank fireball right into Kurama's face, forcing the Kyūbi to let go of him.
Naruto panted heavily as he fell to the ground as the Eight Trigrams Seal finished suppressing his Yōki, leaving him feeling drained.
"Don't…talk…about…my…mother…bastard!" Naruto said, only to be frozen in horror when he heard his father laughing as he stepped out of the flames completely unscathed and back in his true form.
"Yes, that's it! That's what I want to see! That hatred, that rage, show me what a real Yako is!" Said Kurama with a dark and eager grin, wanting to see more of his sons hatred and rage.
While the whiskered blonde looked at him in fear as he stumbled back, before quickly turning around and transforming into a bat to escape his father until he wakes up from this vision.
"Run as much as you want, Naruto! But you'll never be able to outrun who you are!" Kurama called out mockingly, which only made Naruto fly faster to get away.
The Uzumaki kept flying as hard as he could, not stopping or even paying attention to where he was going, only that it was the opposite direction of his father. Even when a sudden mist began appearing around him he didn't stop, simply going even faster to try and get out of it. Naruto kept going, until he stay in the air much longer and landed on the ground, dispelling his Transformation Jutsu.
But the moment Naruto returned to normal, he froze as his eyes widened in horror when he felt a painfully tight grip on his shoulder.
"Did you really think it would be that easy, boy?" Kurama said rhetorically before he backhanded Naruto, sending him flying through the air.
Though before Naruto could hit anything, Kurama appeared in front of him this time, grabbing him by the collar of his jacket and smashed a Foxfire-infused fist into his stomach. With Naruto only being able to gasp and gag in complete agony as Kurama dropped him to the ground. Falling to his knees as he doubled over from the punch and scorching flames, vomiting up a large amount of blood. All while Kurama looked down at him and scoffed.
"Ever since that old fossil sealed away the majority of your power, you've been stuck using nothing but cheap, human parlor tricks. Those Jutsu aren't even a shadow compared to the true power we Kitsune can wield." Kurama said, with Naruto shakily looking up at him in defiance despite the pain and fear he's feeling.
"Y-you mean…those same…parlor tricks that…kicked your ass…already, and sealed…you away?" Retorted Naruto, causing the Daiyōkai to scowl in anger before he grabbed Naruto by his hair.
Tossing him into the air, Kurama spun around and delivered a roundhouse kick to Naruto's stomach, spitting up blood again from the impact as he was knocked back. Only to be yanked back by his ankle and slammed into the ground, groaning and coughing in pain.
"Be grateful I can't kill you in your mindscape, boy. But just because I can't end your miserable life, doesn't mean I can't discipline you." Kurama said with a cruel grin as he stomped down on Naruto's chest, making the Uzumaki wheeze in pain.
Only to grit his teeth as Kurama grinded his foot into his chest, doing his best to suppress his pain and glare at his father.
"D-do…wh-wh-what-whatever…you…want! I'll…I'll never be…like you! I'll never join you! And if you…ever escape, then I'll drag you back into that seal myself!" Said Naruto, only for Kurama to laugh at his declaration.
"You don't get it do you? You're already on your way to being just like me! Getting back at anyone that insults you, refusing to bond with humans, that old goat even sent you to live with people that'd just as easily kill you if they think you're a threat! He sees that you're already becoming like me! And once you realize all of Hiruzen's talk about friendship is nothing but empty words, you'll start seeing things my way." Kurama said before holding out his hand, forming a dark purple ball of pure, condensed Yōki, much to Naruto's terror, recognizing the attack from what he's heard.
"Until then, let this be a hint of what awaits the rest of the world when I return. A one-way trip to oblivion!" Said Kurama, thrusting the attack straight towards Naruto as it exploded into a blast of pure destruction.
*Real World*
Naruto shot up screaming in a cold sweat, just before the Tailed Beast Bomb hit him, only to begin breathing heavily when he saw he's back in his new room. Before he frantically looked himself over, wanting to make sure he is alright and in one piece.
Once he was sure he was completely fine, Naruto let out a breath and looked around the room before looking to the window in surprise to see it's now nighttime.
'I must've dozed off.' Naruto thought, only to frown and wrinkle his nose when he smelled something disgusting, only to recoil when he realized the smell was coming from himself.
'Ugh! Why couldn't the enhanced sense of smell be one of the things that were sealed?!' Thought Naruto, hating that his senses were much more sensitive than normal humans, especially his sense of smell.
Before he got up off his futon and grabbed some pajamas, heading towards the bathroom to wash up. But on the way there, Naruto was completely engulfed in his thoughts, trying to shake off what his father had said.
'I'm nothing like him! I don't enjoy hurting people or causing destruction, and I definitely don't want to kill anyone! He doesn't know anything about me! I only…only…only get…get back at people who…insult me first and…and enjoy getting back at them… But they had it coming! I didn't do anything wrong! And why should I try being friends with anyone when they'll just betray me?!' Naruto thought, trying to rationalize that he's nothing like Kurama.
Only to start feeling doubt, given that he does enjoy getting back at those who insult and hurt him, that he really enjoys humiliating them for thinking they can get away with messing with him.
'B-but I have tried making friends! It's not my fault no one wants to be around me or…or that everyone who says they want to be friends is just lying…and make fun of me when I'm not around…' Thought Naruto, looking down at thinking of his past attempts to make friends.
All of them ending the same way, with it being outright rejected, which is honestly the best case scenario if it's just rejected and nothing else happens. Or those that say they want to be friends turn out to simply be lying and see him as a monster like everyone else. Until eventually he just gave up trying, believing that anyone who he let's get close will just end up hurting and/or using him.
'And the old man thinks I can make friends here? Being around people that'd probably sooner kill me just because of what I am? Does…does he really think that or…or is he…really just trying to…get rid of me?' Naruto thought now beginning to wonder if maybe this all just some elaborate ploy to finally get rid of him.
The Uzumaki was so deep in thought as he reached the bathroom, not noticing it was already being used, missing the clothes that had already been placed in the basket. Before he stripped out of his own and tossed them into the basket, entering the bathing area once he was done. Only to freeze the moment he entered, finding an equally shocked and naked Ai and Mai inside as well.
Seeing Mai sitting on a stool and currently cleaning her body, while Ai was in the tub with her hair gathered up in a pink towel wrapped around her head.
With Naruto getting an unobstructed view of their bodies, seeing they really were identical in every detail. Both of the twins having alluring and curvaceous bodies while still being toned from their training, with high CC-cup breasts with pretty pink nipples, long, smooth legs, perfect heart-shaped asses that would make guys and girls stop to stare and their bare, shaven pussies.
While Ai and Mai got their own view of Naruto's naked body, seeing that even with his young appearance he still had some muscle. Before they blushed brightly when their eyes drifted down, making Mai cover her mouth at seeing the reaction their naked bodies got from Naruto.
'Oh…gods, it's…it's so…oh gods!' Mai thought upon seeing Naruto's erect member, which was already an impressive size despite his current young appearance, which only made her blush intensify.
'If…if he's already this big when he looks thirteen…how big would he be in his true age…? How much more handsome would he be… a handsome man…or a cute shota…' Thought Mai, feeling light-headed and embarrassed at her own imagination, especially that she thinks Naruto looks handsome when he has the appearance of a thirteen-year-old.
"Beautiful…" Naruto muttered, unable to say or think of anything else at the sight of the twins' naked bodies, with this snapping Ai out of her shock first.
"GET OUT! OUT! OUT! OUT! GET OUT YOU PERVERT!" Ai screamed as she covered her breasts and began throwing anything she could grab at the Uzumaki, including the soap, shampoo, washing cloths, anything she could get her hands on.
"OH GODS GET OUT! GET OUT RIGHT NOW!" Screamed Mai along with her sister, throwing anything she could at Naruto, even grabbing the bucket of water she used to rinse herself off at him.
With the sudden projectiles coming at him making Naruto yelp as he quickly rushed out of the bathroom and back to the changing room. Not even stopping as he rushed to put his clothes back on, grabbing the pajamas he was going to change into, and rushed out of the changing room.
While back in the bathing area Ai and Mai were both blushing brightly, with the former fuming at what just happened.
"You little pervert! If you even think of peeking on us again, I'll make you regret ever even thinking of trying!" Ai yelled, angry and mortified that he had seen them naked.
"I'll never be a bride now. He saw everything and I've seen him naked." Muttered Mai, pulling her legs up to her chest and burying her face in her knees.
*With Naruto*
Back with Naruto, he didn't stop running as he left the changing room, wanting to put as much distance between him and the twins as he could. Only to soon come to a stop when he ran into someone and fell to the ground.
"Well now, you seem to be in a hurry. Did something happen, Naruto?" Questioned the person, making him look to see Ai's and Mai's grandmother, getting a good look at her for once rather than just glancing at her when he first arrived.
With her looking to be as old as Hiruzen, having fair, wrinkled skin, long snow-white hair and the same violet eyes as her granddaughters, though they weren't as vibrant as theirs. While she was wearing a pale yellow kimono, a dark blue robe over it with yellow trimming and wooden sandals.
"Nothing happened, old lady! I swear no matter what you heard; it wasn't anything! It was nothing like it sounded!" Naruto said quickly, making the elder chuckle lightly at his flustered expression.
"It's alright, I'm sure nothing happened, at least not intentionally. I know this is all a rather large adjustment for you, Naruto, and that it'll take some getting used to being around others much more often. And please, call me Genshū, you are our guest after all." Said Genshū, with Naruto simply looking at her warily.
"…I'll consider it." Replied Naruto, with Genshū merely nodding in response.
"Of course. Though if you're looking for another, unoccupied, bathroom, there's one close to your room. Down the hall and it's the third door on the right." Genshū said, much to the whiskered blondes gratitude as he quickly headed to the other bathroom.
*Later*
After reaching the, thankfully, empty bathroom, Naruto had stripped down and began cleaning himself up, while doing his best to not think about Ai's and Mai's naked bodies. Unfortunately he didn't have much luck, forcing him to finish quickly before he got carried away and risk being seen.
Once he finished and got dried off, Naruto changed into his pajamas and prepared to head back to his room, only to be stopped by a Priestess approaching him.
"Uzumaki-san, Genshū-sama asked me to inform you that dinner is ready and being served in the dining hall." Said the Priestess while inclining her head, making Naruto frown slightly at the idea of being around everyone else, along with blushing faintly at that Ai and Mai will likely be there.
But even if he didn't want to go, it'd likely just be more trouble if someone comes looking for him if he doesn't show up. And Naruto would prefer keeping contact with everyone here as minimal as possible, if he can help it. Plus…he'd admit to himself he was getting pretty hungry after everything that happened today.
"…Okay." Naruto said before walking past the Priestess and made his way to the dining hall.
So, what did you think, good. Yep we see Naruto having a nightmare/vision of his father destroying Mt. Oinari, before Kurama then appears in front of Naruto in his true form, taunting his son how he'll eventually be freed from his imprisonment and will burn the world down to reshape it in his own image, while laughing at Naruto's belief he could be stopped. Even going as far as to bring up how Kushina said something similar when he tried taking Naruto from her.
Relishing in telling Naruto how he used and manipulated her until revealing his true form and his way with her, that she was even still willing to keep and protect Naruto despite what happened. With this pushing Naruto over the edge and attacks Kurama with a Grand Fireball, only for it to do nothing. Leading to Naruto shapeshifting to run away, but Kurama still keeps up with him and ruthlessly attacks Naruto.
Insulting the "human parlor tricks" he uses compared to the real power of a Kitsune, only to be enraged when Naruto reminds him it's the same parlor tricks that beat him before. Making Kurama attack again, reminding Naruto he might be able to kill him, he can still discipline him, before firing a Tailed Beast Bomb right at Naruto.
Luckily Naruto wakes up just before it hits, finding himself in his new room and seeing how late it now is, before going to take a bath. While doing his best to ignore his father's words, only to soon feel some doubt, wondering if he is already on his way to being like Kurama, if others already see he's becoming like his father.
Before he arrives at the bathroom, only to find a naked Ai and Mai already inside, much to their shock and embarrassment, with Naruto unable to help but comment on their beauty. Leading the sisters to then shout at him to get out while throwing anything they can at him, forcing Naruto to quickly run away, leaving a peeved Ai and depressed Mai that he saw everything and they saw him.
Finally we see Naruto bumping into Genshū, quickly defending himself that nothing happened, much to Genshū's amusement before pointing him towards another bathroom, much to his gratitude. Allowing Naruto to get cleaned up and changed, before a Priestess informs him dinner is ready in the dining hall, with Naruto heading there next. So, for those that like the story, thanks for your support. For those that don't or at least don't like the direction taken, you're more than welcomed to drop the story. But thanks for giving the story a chance anyway.
