Chapter 18.

The sheets are versace, the mattress versace, and man I'm gucci.

I don't own Naruto.

Naruto groaned, he looked around he was in some type of sewer...

"Haven't been here in awhile." Naruto said looking left and right. "If I remember correctly Ikiro should be this way." He said pointing towards the right. Last time he was here he felt two types of powers, one dark, one bright, now he only felt one. There was no bright this time only dark, filthy, evil, calling him. Naruto sighed.

"I guessed I have no choice." Naruto said turning left, he noticed the closer he got to the evil the water got deeper, his stomach turned his mind telling him to turn around but his body wouldn't obey. Finally breaking through the sewer he was in front of a large cage.

"Hello?" Naruto said looking around. He knew exactly where he was, he bit his lips. This was the first time he was ever face to face with the monster, everynow and then he could here him growling, and saying stuff but now, this was the real thing.

"Come closer." Naruto frowned.

"I rather not." He replied.

"I won't hurt you, after all I'm stuck behind this pesky cage." Naruto narrowed his eyes, he did want to get a closer look. he began to walk forward, and just when he was about to take another step the kyuubi large claw came out, stopping him from taking another step. Naruto narrowed his eye.

"What happened to not hurting me." he heard a dark chuckle.

"I assure you, you wouldn't have felt a thing. So I wasn't lying." Naruto scuffed taking another step forward moving around the claw.

Before jumping back again, his adrenaline rushing.

"Are you afraid?" Naruto quirked a eyebrow, the voice was no longer masculine, still dark but more feminine. Before the Kyuubi showed his whole body.

"Your a girl?" The Kyuubi smirked before shrinking down to a beautiful woman, fair skin pearl like eyes, giant breast, and 9 tails swaying behind her.

"If you will it to be." Naruto was confused. "Confused? As expected from a human." Before turning into a man, stood about 6 foot, rough beard, leather jacket, black jeans, low cut boots. "I am a beast, I have no gender. I could be anything I wish."

"So you're a cross dresser." The kyuubi growled. Naruto smirked. "Which side do you prefer, personally you don't look so bad as a girl." The Kyuubi turned back into its fox form his hair on ends blaring his teeth, his tails swinging violently behind him.

"You got balls kid." The Kyuubi said before sitting back down.

"Why am I here anyways."

"Cause your moron of a dad is tinkering with the seal right now, trying to find out why you don't heal as quick as your sister. That idiot, can't even understand what he did."

Naruto nodded. "Why is that exactly?"

"Why would I tell you?" Naruto took a seat.

"Got anything better to do? I mean your pretty much doing nothing twenty four seven, look at this place." Naruto said looking around.

"I'm starting to miss those moments. You put up a good front kid."

Naruto raised a eyebrow.

"What you think I don't feel it?" The Kyuubi said smirking. "I could feel it, it's oozing out like a broken fountain, I could practically smell the fear coming from you. You put up a good front, I give you that, but you can't hide your feelings from me. It's impossible."

"Oh really? What makes you think that?" Naruto said.

"You don't believe me?" Before the water on the outside of the cell started bubbling the fox head and shoulder started to form. Naruto frowned taking one step back realizing he was already pressed against the wall.

"The fear, it feeds me, it satisfies my thirst, and you have so much of it. Your sister didn't even flinch when I met her, but you your practically ready to let me kill you," Naruto grit his teeth.

Before it all disappeared and Naruto was once again standing alone.

"That's what makes me think that." The kyuubi said.

"A genjutsu?"

The kyuubi shook his head.

"Nope it was your fear being showed to you, a little kitsune trick."

Naruto frowned.

"I'm still waiting. Why don't I heal as quickly as Nami. If I get hurt in a battle and I can't fight threw it then we'll both die."

"No, you'll die and I'll reform in 9 years." Kyuubi corrected.

"Not according to this." Naruto said taking off his shirt showing him the scroll tattoo across his rib.

"You don't know how to use that. And it comes at a cost."

"I'm willing to pay it." Naruto said staring down the beast.

"Finally some bravado on your part." The Kyuub said his tails swinging in amusement. " The answer is simple really. When your grandfather vanished me, he sealed off my powers, well more like paralyzed them for that your Tama won't be affected by my power."

"So wait, what will happen if the Tama and your chakra mixed." The Kyuubi flashed a smile.

"Care to find out?" Not really a question more like a let's do it.

"I'm fine. So you're telling me, I don't heal fast like Nami because your power is paralyzed. How do I undo what my grandfather did?"

The Kyuubi narrowed his eyes.

"Do humans need everything spelled out for them?" He growled.

"I'll make you a deal, you tell me, and I'll change this place into something cool."

"How about I tell you, then you set me free."

Naruto didn't respond just looked at him.

"Fine. Channel some chakra to your eyes then say KAI."

Naruto took a minute studying the fox before, taking a deep breath before doing as told. A immense relief went across his body before feeling the power of the Tama leaving and a completely calm feeling taking over.

"What is this?" Naruto said basking in the feeling. The Kyuubi didn't say nothing.

"The tama isn't as much as a blessing as you think. Your sensei Nanashi knows this."

"What do you mean?" He said, he never felt so good.

"Change this place into a giant snowing forest. I also want a giant castle and make sure the snow never stop, in fact make it a blizzard."

Naruto sighed knowing he wasn't getting nothing more from the fox. With a snap of a finger, they were at Kyuubi dream setting. The Kyuubi now in its girl form.

"I don't remember asking to be changed into a girl." The Kyuubi said its voice no longer dark.

"That's what you get for not answering my questions." The kyuubi smiled.

"I like you kid." The kyuubi said grabbing her hips. "You like this Na-ru-to-kun?" The beast said biting its lips. Naruto blushed.

"Shut up. This is a weird setting, I thought you'll want something that has to do with fire."

"You humans are so single minded." Before the fox turned around and walked towards its castle.

"Um! How do I leave this place?"

"Like this." Before he was gone.

Everything smells so yummy." Nami said seeming to hover in air Smelling the different type of foods on the table.

"Ne, Nami take a seat." Kushina said with a sweet drop as she saw her daughter take a bite of a rice ball.

Sasuke shook his head, taking a bite of a tomato.

Kushina sweet dropped even more.

"You to Sasuke." Before sighing, and going back to the kitchen she still had to make more ramen after minato rude interruption into their dinner.

"Where is Naruto anyways?" Kushina said out loud. Sasuke and Nami panicked they told her and the hospital will be in need of repair.

"He's in a extended meeting with the Hokage." Nami said rather quick, saSuke nodded. Kushina looked at them suspiciously before heading to the kitchen.

"Maybe I should go see him, I need to speak with Minato anyways." They heard from the kitchen. Sasuke looked at Nami, giving her the 'do something' look, which Nami promptly returned. Sasuke narrowed his eyes.

"They should be on their way here already Kushina-sama." Sasuke said, biting his lips.

"No, I'll go check, make sure the ramen doesn't go col-"

"KAASAN! I'm home." Naruto yelled walking through the door, Minato and Jiraiya walking calmly behind him, poking him over and over, and Jiraiya even tried taking off his jacket before going back to Minato side as Kushina came out the kitchen.

"I was worried you got hurt." Kushina said hugging him, hard. "You didn't get hurt did you Naru-kun? Because if you did, the village is gonna be in need of a new Hokage." Kushina said ever so sweetly, Minato paled.

"He's fine, perfectly fine see. Strong as a bull." Minato said pushing Naruto into a wall to prove his point. Kushina smiled before looking over at Jiraiya.

"How nice of you to join us ero-sennin." Jiraiya sweet dropped.

"Don't call me that Kushina-chann!" Jiraiya cried.

"Anyways, take your seat dinner will be ready in no time." Kushina said walking back into the kitchen. Minato gave a sigh of relief, taking a look at Naruto who was on his chair next to Nami and Sasuke.

'It's like nothing happened.' Minato said looking at Naruto moving pattern, if anything he looked more comfortable now then he's ever been.

"Ha! I'm starved after so many month's of research I finally get to eat a house meal." The toad sage blurted taking a seat, Minato shook his head before also taking a seat.

Kushin came out ten minutes later with the rest of the ramen.

"Okay guys, eat up." Kushina said about to take her regular seat at the front of the table and realized Minato was already there and eating Ramen at a rate she thought only Naruto could do.

She smiled taking the seat to right of Minato for she could be next to Jiraiya.

"So how was your first mission guys." Nami and Sasuke shoulders tensed while Naruto just kept whooping down Ramen at an incredible rate, only challenged by Minato, who was obviously up for the challenge.

"It was good, not exactly your ideal first mission but good." Nami said in a fake happy tone. Kushina looked over at Sasuke.

"It was a great test of my skills." Not giving her another look knowing he'll brake under her mother like glare.

"I see." Kushina said taking another bite of ramen.

"Minato, what mission were they assigned that my own kids think its fit to lie to me." Kushina said rather bluntly. Minato stopped in motion.

"Mhh hmmh hmm." Minato said with a full mouth. Kushina looked at him, waited for him to finish swallowing.

"I said, top of the line mission. B rank maybe A." Minato said not trying to tell her, he put their kids in one of the most dangerous fighting force the village has to offer. Kushina just stared at him.

"Isn't that right Jiraiya." Looking over at his Sensei to see there was nothing left but a giant frog toy. Kushina continued to eat normally, only taking small looks at the genin trio before looking at Minato.

"Naruto-kun, would you mind telling mami what happened." Naruto stopped much like his father, looking up at his mom knowing he couldn't keep anything secret from her.

"Per hokage orders, we are not allowed to show the details of the mission. The good news is we came back alive and well, no injury's and wonderful mizu ramen Kaasan." Naruto said before going back to whooping down his ramen, Minato not to look a gift horse in the mouth followed suit. Kushina smiled, figures he'll say that. Nami and Sasuke were shock, that's all it took.. before going back to eating.

"Ne Hokage-sama." Naruto said, Minato sighed knowing it'll take time before Naruto called him father.

"Yes Naruto-kun?" Naruto bit his lip.

"I met the Kyuubi today." Minato narrowed his eyes, while Kushina panicked before front flipping over the table, and grabbed Naruto and like only a mother could began looking for any wounds, or marks.

"Kaasan, I'm fine." Naruto said, Kushina looked one last time and nodded.

"What happened?" Naruto looked around.

"Anyone seen Nanashi?" Everyone looked around, where was the clad and black die hard.

"What happened Naruto? Has the seal weekend? Me and Jiraiya prepared a stronger sealing formula to connect with yours." Minato said. Naruto shook his head.

"No, actually it's the reason I'm out the hospital."

"Hospital?" Kushina said looking over at Minato, who was trying to disappear.

"Yeah I was a little chakra drained so Nanashi-sensei took me to the hospital but there's something that has concerned me... the kyuubi it said my kekkei genkai isn't as holy as it looks.. You all probably don't know the answer but I was hoping mom had some scrolls left over from Uzu."

Kushina shook her head a little sad, Naruto nodded.

"Just as I thought. My only option is Nanashi." Naruto said. "I'm going to bed, see you all tomorrow morning." Yawning into his hands before leaving the living room. Nami and Sasuke followed suit. Minato stood with Kushina down stairs. They looked at each other for a minute before it started to get awkward.

"Need some help with the dishes?" Minato asked, Kushina nodded turning on her heels and walking towards the table picking up some plates followed by Minato. They washed the plates in silence, it was amazing how to people could be so in sync with one another, like when Kushina almost dropped a plate and Minato plucked it right out of the air and rinsed it before putting it to the side, not even looking a slight bit worried.

They were down in no time.

"Come to my office Minato, I heard you wanted to talk to me." Kushina said. Minato gulped, that wasn't Kushina playful voice. They arrived at the office in no time.

"So what is it?" Kushina said taking her seat, Minato stayed standing.

Minato smiled, the window behind Kushina let the light of the moon shine in and it reflected off kushina vibrant hair and skin. Minato smiled.

"You always did have wonderful hair Kushina." Minato said. Kushina turned her head to hide her blush.

"Flattery will get you no where." Kushina said still refusing to look at Minato.

"I know." Minato said softly.

"We don't have all the time in the world." Minato nodded, before taking a scroll out his pocket and throwing it at her.

"What's this?" Kushina said. Minato took a seat.

"Documents I got from Danzu, they're blue prints to your estate, well the Uchiha estate but it's mostly the same thing. This was why they were successful in their attack. There's some more papers in there but there's one in particular I want you to see." Minato said grabbing a regular piece of paper..

"It's our marriage certificate." Minato said smiling at the two names written on the paper. Kushina sighed.

"Where are you getting at Minato." Minato didn't say nothing just handed it to her.

"You remember that night?" Kushina frowned.

"How couldn't it I? There was a fucking fox tearing down the woods, I swear your like a bad luck bringer." Minato smiled.

"It was also the day I sent you away." Kushina got serious. Minato once again reached into his pocket taking out a small scroll. Kushina eyes widen.

"That's.." Minato nodded placing it on her desk. Before getting up.

"I see you around Kushina-chan." Minato said and just like that he was gone.

Naruto frowned leaning away from his mom office door.

'Your being stupid.'You're an asshole.

Naruto ignored the beast for now, before being grabbed from the back, his mouth being held for that he can't scream.

"Let's have a talk."

Nami sighed once again looking out the window. "Slowly release, before taking it back in."

'The trick is to not release it at all."

Nami frowned. That Mitsu guy was so scary... she sighed before once again trying to reach out to her dragon senses failing miserably..

"Don't release it..." Nami eyes widen. Before taking a breath of air, letting her chakra flow out of her before expanding her dragon senses, she held it for a minute before the chakra around her once again began to sink into her body.

"I got it!"

Sasuke frowned standing on the roof of the house.

'You've been awfully quite."

Sasuke ignored the sage.

"What do you think? Am I to weak? Even with the power I've gain from you... am I strong enough yet?! To defeat him? To defeat Itachi."

"..."

Sasuke nodded, before chakra began to dance around him.

"I need more power."

The sage stood quite a small smirk on his face, all was going according to plan.

Minato arrived at his office to find Danzo and the elders waiting for him.

"We've been called?" The elders said. Minato nodded.

"In think its time we chose a new Hokage... one more filling for the job." Minato said shocking the elders, but not Danzo.

"Who can possibly replace you?!" Homura yelled. Jiraiya appeared in the room.

"Yo gaki how it go?" The look on the elders faces was priceless.

"I'll get you back for that... how about Jiraiya?" Minato said with a smirk, Jiraiya paled..

"Nope, absolutely not, no, nunca, never, noooo." Jiraiya said.

"The messenger hawk has already been sent to the Damiyo, he thinks its an amazing idea." Jiraiya paled and paled even more.

"How about Tsunade?" Minato shook his head.

"No, she's a long term Kage, your more of a fill in." Minato said.

"What do you mean?" Danzo said.

Minato got up walked towards the window and opened it, his cape swinging with the breeze.

"It's been a while since the yellow flash has seen some action."

Jiraiya smiled.

"Finally time huh?" Minato didn't reply.

"Where are you going?"

"Iwa."

The elders almost had a heart attack!

"Are you out of your mind! What are you planning to do there?"

"Not do. Is repay. Its about time I show her I mean business." Jiraiya smiled.

"My first orders as Hokage is you leave tomorrow morning. Your team will consist of you and a shinobis or shinobi of your choice." Minato smirked.

"As you say Hokage-sama."

"What do you mean a temporary hokage?"

"It means old man, that I'll be back." And with a flash he was gone.

There you go a short chapter but more action coming up! What exactly is Minato plan? And Naruto captured... find out next time on.. fuck it just come back next time.
